Gods & Heroes launched by Heatwave Interactive to a surprisingly small audience, despite the game’s performance on the Steam sales charts. Heatwave, being a small company, came forth over a week ago with some surprisingly blunt admissions:
“We don’t need 500k users to be successful. However, our current growth rate isn’t good enough.”
An article today on Massively boasts an over 50% conversion rate (players who continue to subscribe), noting that although free-to-play is not on the books right now, the model is coming to Gods & Heroes at some point in the future.
“Again, obviously we want as many players playing the game as possible but, from our perspective, we need to get the game where it needs to be and have the right sized audience to go with that.”
The price of Gods & Heroes is seeing a reduction, down to $29.99. I’ll have more on the game as it appears.
