Watch Ads for Units

TheTrueBeast

As most of us have seen recently, Kabam's revenue over the last quarter was down. While there's likely multiple reasons for this, like the coronavirus, it still has me concerned about the future of MCOC. This led me to think of other potential revenue streams for MCOC, especially from FTP players out there. What if MCOC implemented something that gave units to watch an ad, like Transformers Forged to Fight does. Not many units, just 5 or 10 once a day to persuade players to watch it. That way, if you have a fundamental hate against ads, you wont have to watch them if you dont want to. While I continually see people complaining about the game, there is no denying that it is a great mobile game and many of us would loose on a enjoyable experience if the game shutters. Would the player base be against something like this?

Please god no.

Actually a good idea. Maybe a small amount to watch it entirely and a little more to click on ad. Not a bad idea.
I hope kabam take notice of this.

I'd hate that, no thanks.

If u hate it, u can just skip it or disable it. That can be an option.

That's not a good idea at all

I'm fine with this, as long as the ads are short, completely optional, and they don't force any ads on you. Like maybe a button in the settings

One of the main reasons this game has a big player base is because there is no ads Whether it’s a banner or a video

If they did this I would leave

The random unit offers that pop up that no one buys is pain enough.
Ads would just make it worse

Yes because more pop-ups in game will make it more enjoyable.

Facepalm.

I mean, I think the availability of an option to disable ads would positively answer a lot of the hate you would get for this implementation. As a *essentially F2P player* who hates grinding arena, this would make sense for a for-profit company, and I wouldn’t hate it. Others may disagree with me, but regardless, if this was implemented, I would probably do it and would prefer a 30 sec ad once a day to grinding arena for 15 minutes.

I will say that I think for this to be at all feasible, it would need to 1. Have an option to disable. 2. Be limited to 1 or 2 per day or something, clearly unlimited ad watching is just a ridiculous idea, so is forcing it on people.

A company will advertise another company’s product (or their own) for money. Disable Option wouldn’t earn Kabam any money because no one is seeing the advertisement so the Company selling the product would not be able to pay Kabam money or earn money from the advertisement because not enough people are seeing it.

Marvel's main competitor, who have a similar mobile game to MCoC have recently done something like this. There's now a way of getting free credits/units/gems by watching ads or doing surveys or installing other apps etc. and while it is all optional I feel like it has cheapened the experience.
Personally I would not like Kabam to go down this route.

Running ads ruins the immersion and makes the game feel cheaper

Why can't people understand this. The ads are already optional. Its a button that you have to manually tap. Id venture that the majority of the player base rarely taps the button for the top players. It would literally be right beside that and you wouldnt have to tap it if you didnt want to. If you did tap it, you watch a 30 second ad and earn some units. This is not rocket science

Lol, all you've done is present an idea and argue with people who disagree with you.

In the first quarter of the year there isn't a major spending event, this leads to less revenue in those months compared to the other months. In the other 3 quarters there is spring cleaning, the July 4th deals, and the cyber weekend offers. The game is doing just fine and doesn't need to implement ads

Additionally, if they just made a roadmap where they are going further and using resources to update the UI which is perfectly fine, they aren’t in any need to min/max and are most likely fine financially.

He's not arguing with ppl who disagree with him, he's arguing with ppl who dont understand what he's trying to say.

No pop-up ads. You either click on a button to watch the ad or u dont. If u dont want to watch it, then don't click on it and continue playing normally like u do now.

Its optional.

Why do I need to worry about Kabams earnings???

Because if Kabam's earnings keep going lower and lower, then there probably won't be a MCOC to run anymore. But I still don't think ads should come up, unless, it is your choice on when you click on them (and if this happens, please don't just make it pop-up like the offers, it's annoying af).
