Continent of the Ninth Golden

[Quote][b][URL=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spyware]Spyware Warning![/URL][/b] This game acts as spyware and performs personal data gathering and transmission. It attempts to install the Xigncode3 malware/rootkit into your PC, which cannot be removed cleanly afterwards. This spyware rootkit works like the Red Shell malware, and compromises the integrity of your PC. This spyware rootkit monitors and reports on all aspects of your PC as well as your browsing history and online activity, and may include or introduce keyloggers and other remote control tools. There's no way to opt out and you are forced to agree to a non-enforcable agreement which involves the developer selling your private data and profiling you. This is completely unethical and reprehensible. Gamers must be aware of the dangers of installing this harmful software and should avoid this completely.[/Quote] [quote][b][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microtransaction]Warning: In-Game Cash Shop[/url][/b] This game is infested with a toxic mobile app style cash shop. You will be prompted to and expected to give money/credit card details to the developers through this cash shop to buy in-game goods so you can play the game.[/quote] [quote][b]Note: Dead multiplayer game[/b] This game contains no meaningful single player content. There's no players, no populated servers. This multiplayer-only game cannot be played as intended.[/quote] This is a dead, old and busted P2W KMMO (World of Warcraft ripoff with anime girls in it) that VALOFE dug up from the graveyard and injected with even more broken P2W cash shop cancer. There's no players and the servers appear to be broken. Also, spyware. So, "Continent of the Ninth Golden" is a dead multiplayer game. Why did it fail? It's video game autopsy time! The chief cause of failure is the developer thinking that their game will "go viral" without actually creating any reason for it do so. Competition amongst multiplayer centric games is extreme, and there's only a finite player base to appeal to. This game failed to reach any kind of critical mass and died as a result. Let's go into some of the reasons this particular game failed to appeal to gamers, despite the zero up front cost. Visually, this has some fairly mediocre/dated looking graphics that will understandably be a turn off for a lot of gamers, and it's a big contributor to the failure of the game to attract gamers despite having no up-front cost. Now on to pricing and value for gamers. This game is infested with Pay-2-Win mobile app store like microtransactions. This is a consumer hostile model that we don't need to see on PC. It's deceptively priced to gouge gamers, and that's a reason in itself to avoid this. Bearing in mind that free games don't add +1 to your game collector count, should you bother adding this to your library and downloading it? Nope. This isn't worth downloading. While this didn't cost me any money up front, I still feel ripped off.
