It's not so weird. The iPhone can be accessed anywhere at any time, while the PC servers offer a lot more in terms of gameplay, it's most enduring setback is that you have to be in front of a monitor.
Unfortunately we all need to come to terms with the fact that they're putting more interest and effort into their iPhone servers than into Graal Online. I'm sure I wasn't the only one that heard about the iPhone App and hoped to God someone in their company wasn't retarded and was going to use it as an advertising medium between us and the mainstream.
I'm also sure I'm not the only one that is severely disapointed with their choice to condemn Graal Online the PC version, in favor of advancing our iPhone counterpart.
From a business standpoint, I just don't understand it. Maybe I'm not formally educated in business, but it just doesn't make sense. There is no way the iPhone App can produce more income than the PC version if they do this properly. It makes so much more sense to use the App to get people to come here and download the game, but instead they're just updating the App and giving it new features and ****. Eventually the App is going to be better quality than the online game, which in itself is a damn shame considering all the lies we've been fed about updates and this and that that obviously were never coming.
But oh well. Graal has been slowly dying the last few years (whether you want to admit it or not), it seems only fitting that there would actually be a saving grace possibility in the iPhone app, only to be shown that they care more about launching their own side projects, than saving the original game that spawned them. |
