Our last post definitely stirred some discussion. That was expected, and we understand even the negative reactions — we also enjoy free things 🙂. A sincere thank you to everyone who understands and supports our decision.
We want to address a few of the most common questions that came up:
Ad placement: We plan to add only a single banner on the main map screen. There will be no video ads popping up every 30 seconds. If video ads are ever introduced, they will be tied to optional actions (such as the QR scanning button) and will not appear continuously.
Poor signal concerns: Ads will load in the background and will not freeze or block the app if the signal is weak or unavailable.
Why not other monetization options (one-time purchase, pro features): To be blunt, all of our operating costs are subscription-based. In today’s IT world, virtually nothing can be purchased outright anymore — everything is subscription-driven. It’s not ideal, and we dislike it as much as anyone else, but it’s the reality we have to work with.
Finally, for larger teams or event organizers who want to offer players an ad-free experience in the Ares Alpha app, we will provide discounted seat bundles specifically designed for events. Organizers will receive a simple QR code that players can scan to activate a 5-day subscription for the duration of the event. We believe this is a straightforward and effective way to meet the needs of game organizers.
