This is the reason we let the free membership levels be left in place - they didn't want to scare off their members with OSRS Gold. And as we know, it absolutely worked, the popularity of the game only increased. Yet the author of The First 20 Years explains, RuneScape didn't reach its top levels without some mistakes made at some point.
Many of us who played it regularly during the 2000s might be unable to play the game's first release, now known as RuneScape Classic. Players were able to take on anyone, even each other. The graphics were more than simple. The game could only hold 1,200 players at a time without going down.

Metal Gear fans that clearly prefer single-player gameshave been rewarded with the co-op title Metal Gear Survive in 2018. And that's not even to discuss the affiliates Activision Blizzard wastes on constant Call of Duty development.

The successful stories we see are only exceptions to the rule sometimes with Buy OSRS Gold. The stars needed to align to allow Among Us to find its user base after its release as well as perhaps the most significant prior to that - with the aid of a big publisher was Undertale in the year 2017.
