I don't see them getting half the business they got with evolved at these prices. This is also true. Hopefully they make the smart decision Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkmage0519 Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 Also with nitrado you will have to look out for someone from nitrado breaking into your servers to cause problems. Nitrado will deny it but you can find quite a few stories just in these threads. People from different places and different platforms but the one thing in common was nitrado.

How did you think Nitrado was going to get their money back???? I swear the internet should require an IQ test. Speaking of IQ tests you might want to work on your math skills. If Nitrado gets a monopoly on paid server hosting, all of the money that people used to pay to other hosting companies is going to get paid to Nitrado instead. That is how a reasonable person would expect them to get their money back. If their existing pricing structure is enough to make a profit before being granted an exclusive agreement by WildCard then that pricing structure will make even more money for them after the exclusive agreement even if they didn't raise the prices by a single penny. Your logic (and the math implied by your logic) is broken. As long as their previous pricing model was profitable (and we have to assume it was because they're a business, not a charity) then there is no reason to raise the prices other than to rip off players because they have the exclusive agreement. If they were profitable before then they would be even more profitable now, even without raising prices, and that is how people thought "Nitrado was going to get their money back". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Partner, are you actually saying that none of yall saw the price gouge coming? I'm genuinely stunned that none of yall saw this coming.... It's like you haven't existed in the adult world for very long. All throughout history there has not been a SINGLE instance of a company gaining a monopoly and responded ethically. Why would any of you think this time would be different? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course I saw it coming, which has nothing to do with the argument you presented in your previous post. You made an argument about profitability, and responded to that argument. Whether anyone saw this coming or not is immaterial to the argument you presented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw it coming once I heard they where going to be the only company we can use, but it still doesnt make it right. They are even lowering the RAM by 6GB so according to their logic the price should now drop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeweyDogTV Posted October 28, 2023 Author Share Posted October 28, 2023 I think nitrado has dug themselves deep. There is a way out of this hole they made, but they probably wont do it for business and what not. ASA is really gonna be a sad place if nitrado doesnt change something soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxplanck58 Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 (edited) Has anyone else noticed that WC seems to partner with comanies that have profounly negative reputations: Snail Games, Overwolf, Nitrado. Only an anecdotal observation, but I don't think I have seen a positive comment about any of the three.

Low chances but what other chance. At this point, if you want to play a private server with multiple maps with friends, it might be better to spend 1000$ on computer to run the servers by yourself for you and your friends, and then you would have all the maps and stuff and it wouldnt be monthly. Since we are allowed to host our own servers, this could be the best way. If you used nitrado, paying 30$ a month for all the maps, you would be paying over 360$ a month. In 3 months, the 1000$ computer would have already been payed off and you would be saving money after that point. I went a little of topic here but i feel like nitrado is not the best way to host a server now and i know lots of people agree. I looked at different hosting options and there are those who want less money from me. Saving should be frugal, right? Because I don't really like frivolous spending. Thanks to the online casino philippines with free signup bonus I can afford to pay. They provide full casino information for pro gamblers. And I turned it to my advantage. But I can spend it elsewhere. I'm surprised, but it seems like they actually listened. They haven't raised the price for several months now. Yes, it's higher than before, but still. I hope it stays at least at the current level for a long time. Edited April 30 by harribur01 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daggerkm Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 (edited) Hosting hardware requirements are 2-3x the CPU and RAM requirements with ARK SA vs ARK SE. The alternative is to purchase your own enterprise grade hardware and self host. That is what I did for my cluster that I have been hosting since August 2022. My new privately owned server hardware cost $29,000 but blows away the performance of Nitrado rented servers with 96 physical cores / 192 logical cores running at 4.1GHZ with 1,536GB of RAM. Server hardware is expensive and this same hardware at list price would be $80,000 per DELL's own website. Edited April 26 by daggerkm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
