In addition to this, some of you may or may not have seen that starting in June, MSFT is removing support for in-app advertising as a way to monetize applications on the Windows Store. This pretty much kills off the business model for the game on Windows, although the change is not entirely surprising given the declining performance of in-app based ads.
Given the above, My Colony will soon be going paid-only on the Windows Store, similar to how it is on Steam. In truth, the "free app with ads" business model has been in decline for some time on all platforms, and the only way to really make it work now is to become spammy with popups and whatnot, and I'm not prepared to do that on any platform. So Windows will be the first platform to make the switch, and I will consider doing the others later. Users who already download the free version on Windows will not lose access to it though, so if you've already downloaded it it will not impact you. The free version will go away for new users in a few weeks and I switch over to the paid version. The paid version will also unlock Premium on all platforms, just like on Steam.
So anyway, that is all for today's update. Enjoy, and stay tuned for more! And stay safe from the virus!!
