Yeah, they have the power to make it unreasonably difficult, but after all the shit they've taken for survival mode, the smarter solution would be to tune it so that most people can beat it and make the payouts worth your time but not particularly high.Not sure how I feel about it either way. Now you pay FM to get in. Then you can earn FM inside. But, can't they make the bosses cheat super easily? They're the 'house', house always wins...
I enjoy the game, though, for the record. Gonna build a new stick and come back to it with AE.
If they play their cards right (read: deviously), they'll get players to play it not just for FM rewards, but for that good feeling of winning a gamble that is the real hook. Then they can put in tougher challenges with higher entry costs and bigger payouts. Ease people into the thrill of gambling.
