Seems strange to me to set up a community around a revenue model.

Edit: I guess it would be interesting if discussion centered around how to make the revenue model work.

I think there is a fine between allowing players to spend as much or as little as they like while enjoying your product, and the use of scuzzy dark patterns.

Yeah, it's definitely a niche. It's mainly aimed at those in the industry. Giving them a place to share links and have a discussion.

I totally agree with your comment on it being a fine line. That's why I think that more discussion and transparency is needed in the industry.
