Mochi закрывает Mochi Coins
Если коротко то игры с их коинсами прохо расходятся, никто не хочет их брать а крупные порталы имеют свои системы оплаты, а содержание всей этой системы дорого обходится мочимедии и бла-бла-бла они закрывают их.
Под катом полный текст на английском:
As a valued partner, we have some important news to share with you that will have an impact on your game(s) that are utilizing Mochi Coins. Mochi Media’s core business is based on in-game advertisements and distribution. We announced earlier this year that we have renewed our focus on our core business.
As you may or may not know, microtransactions tend to stunt the distribution of Flash games. Publishers' acceptance of Coins games is low as the larger portals favor creating their own systems for in-game purchases, and there is a general dislike for outbound links. In addition, the cost for maintaining Mochi Coins is very high, while the adoption has been relatively low.
Mochi Coins Update
Due to our current focus on our ads and distribution business, as well as the limits of microtransactions as a revenue model in distributed games, we have decided to discontinue Mochi Coins as a product effective October 15, 2012. While the product will be discontinued, developers will still be able to access your Mochi Coins data via your Mochi Media account.
What this means
Because you are a valued partner, we wanted to share this news with you as early as possible to give you plenty of time to prepare for the change. Please note: your game will continue to function after this change, and purchased items will still be accessible. The store functionality, however, will no longer be available. Our suggestions for developers are as follows:
Update your game- change the game such that it no longer has a virtual store (making it completely playable without microtransactions)
Utilize another microtransaction platform
If you are a publisher with Mochi Coins games on your site(s), you may want to evaluate them on a game-by-game basis to determine if you want to keep them on your site. This may also depend on if / how the developer changes their game(s). Again, all games will continue to function, but players will no longer have the ability to purchase items in-game using Mochi Coins.
Player Impact
Additionally, to help the transition for players, we have partnered with Ninja Kiwi to give players the option to exchange Mochi Coins for Ninja Kiwi Coins. All players who still have Mochi Coins as of October 15, 2012 will be able to exchange them for Ninja Kiwi coins. There is no expiration on this offer; they will be able to make the switch at any future date after October 15, 2012. This agreement between Mochi Media and Ninja Kiwi only applies to players with existing Mochi Coins, and has no direct implication for developers.
Here is a timeline of what you can expect:
September 17th: General announcement for discontinuing Mochi Coins
October 5th: Players can no longer fund their wallets (i.e. Mochi Coins no longer for sale)
October 15th: Mochi Coins are officially discontinued, players directed to exchange Mochi Coins for Ninja Kiwi Coins.
Thanks,
Josh Larson
