Pessimistic Rumor about Crossfire

[cnhawk]

　
This is a rumor. I'm not the origin. I don't have any hard proof.

It's "believed" coming from the major shareholder of z8's parent company.
The name of this major shareholder is Tencent. It's a Chinese company.
You may google or wiki "Tencent Holdings" to know about Tencent.

It says the profit of CF worldwide is shrinking horribly since early 2012.
CF North America is still profitable but its profit decreased at least 60%.
CF China, the major market of CF worldwide, started losing profit slightly.
CF in other markets are struggling for survival, mostly not profitable.

Since early 2011, Tencent invested in Warface, a German FPS game.
Recently, it concentrates almost all of its resources to promote Warface.
It seems Tencent is currently on its way to withdraw from the dying CF.
The rest shareholders are far from enough to support CF worldwide.

---

Let me add my personal opinion here.

I believe this rumor because it's 100% logical.
Each game has a life time. Old games die, and new games born.
Even this rumor not real today, it will be real anytime in future.

I believe Tencent doesn't care if CF shuts down. Neither does z8.
Tencent just keep investing in new games, and earn more and more.
And z8 is just an regional agent. It can transfer to another game.

When CF shuts down, only paid players get hurt.
CF will shuts down at a certain time. So does any other game.
It's just a question about when it shuts down, 2012 or later.

I dont get it how are they are not making profit by cf ? thousands of peoples are buying zp everyday..... So how ? .....

Well, z8games is a gaming company that makes money; therefore a business.

In a business, things like these happen. Shareholders will cut ties they rivet and then it's pretty much to the other side.
Hopefully this isn't true. If it is then z8 will have to blame themselves, if you can't give what your players want, say good bye to your business.

They even make getting bm weapons even harder before 1.5 years at that time there are lots of bm winners in cf as compared to now they making everything harder and shity...... Many and many peoples left cf because of there poor serivce against hack its imposible they made a new Patch and there is no bug in it !! Duh.... And those bugs didnt get fixed after few days of patch we have to wait till other patch and there would be another bug in that patch..... And Its true if this game recive losses its because of there own mistakes :S

There are much better F2P Games to play..So thats why people quit CF..
(Also people started buying P2P Games..)

[Dot2]

CF Phillipines and CF Europe are losing some players since March 2012, i can noticed that, but no CF will be closed

[Little Snow]

Tencent: well if cf goes down. They still have alot of other programs they can use.
Such as DNF, QQ, and such such. Wait are we just only talking CF? or the whole company stuff?

[The XXX Devil]

Inevitable , We all knew that something like that is going to happen.
Hacks , Lame patches , Bad support are part of the reasons that people are leaving the game.

[need_for_help]

hmmmm...not a big shock i mean when u send a support ticket u get answered after a week (bad support) and bad patches ,hard to win in crates

[Logical.]

I honestly have no idea how their losing money. People buy so much ZP each day.. in fact I'm going to buy some more today.
