Breaking news - New Top 11 version 5.6

There is one thing keeps making me confused: is Nordeus earning any profits? If the answer is yes why they keep making these ridiculous updates? If not how can they guarantee these changes will bring in more money?

Nordeus, I know you made a lot of surveys among us, thanks. But did you do any risk analyses and finance analyses? In your analyses, did you consider something called stratification? How can you come up with the naive idea of merging all levels on auction?

Are you kidding me? Is this the game that I have spent my lives in recent years to play? I start thinking about more and more ...

Nordeus,

Take a look at the auction view, don't you think the first column is too wide for containing name and nationality only? Why you don't make it narrower and add in a column for SA?

Note, the scout and negotiation tab stay the same, so from my perspective this is a very poor programming effort.

There is one thing keeps making me confused: is Nordeus earning any profits?

TMI- Yes, Nordeus is expected to be a profitable company. It's privately owned, which means their earnings don't have to be publicly disclosed (as with most companies). There is not much, but a few business interviews with Nordeus staff are on the web, for example. A company of this size and type almost certainly has an analytics team, who monitor data like login per day, time spent per action; and others who make strategic recommendations, like which demographics to target and how, examining traffic flow, conversion rates, etc...

But- every product and company should evolve, and not every attempt is a success, even for the hugely resourced companies like Google (remember Glass? flop). This seems like a disconnected update, crossed wires at Nordeus. However, it may be that the next "generation" of players will find v5.6 to be an improvement, it certainly could yield whatever positive result Nord hoped for on their end; even if that's out of touch with legacy users.
