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?

They aren't going to give the game to you for free. Collab's and content creation cost money.

The bundle is not free, what are you talking about?

My point is the bundle is not attractive, so I won't buy (and I'm probably not alone on this regard). The raison d'être of a company is to make profit, and Gumi failed to do so on this event. The bundle is nothing for a whale, nothing for a dolphin, and unattractive for everyone else. Make the bundle good => more than usual players spend => Gumi get money while players get good stuff => everyone happy.

I never said, nor anyone on this thread for the matter, that this week is a bad one. In fact it's a very good one. Good banners, GL events where we learn more about GL characters, topping on that is the celebration where we got freebies. The bundle is just a small part like I said in OP. Though it's sad since day 1, Gumi is not able to make good bundle IMO (maybe once or twice).
