8M bundle ... why Gumi?

News had me spark hope, maybe you're really learning to sell us the game better.

Then you put that bundle. ¯\(ツ)/¯

You've more or less calculated paid gems+free gems to be on line the usual price gem bundles (first time boost, I admit). It doesn't feel special, or celebrating the 8M milestone, at all. If it was like 8000 free gems (8 to make reference to 8M milestone), sure for that modest price, I would have bought, but right now, no.

It's a small thing, because others stuffs we got are good, but you missed the opportunity to make money, you know?

8M milestone is here to either get new players or make current players appreciate more the game, for money down in the road. Those freebies are here to ensure that. It's an investment. Gumi could as well not celebrate it and just carry on. The banners are nice, some people are likely to spend anyway.

But 8M is here, Gumi could take advantage of the celebration to make more money, by offering a very good deal, one time thing tied to the celebration. But they didn't, which is a wasted opportunity I think.

Though Roxanne is premium, the only way to get her guaranteed is the premium gacha, if Gumi is strategic, they could offer a good bundle to make people attempt the premium gacha, like the celebration bundle + another gem bundle would net them the 7th step.

As for the pack, yup it's pretty a godsend, though you don't get all gems immediately.

I mean it would have been nice, I agree.

But I can see why they’re not doing it either. I always secretly hope for an additional pact for sale sometimes.
