I seriously paid alot to Nordeus if so. And i reckon Nordeus wants people to watch vids and train players rather than use negotiations to get fully trained players. Makes them more money. They probably did the maths and found that the players who quit will not bring in as much money as compared to the increased need for greens and training (watching vids) among remaining players.

They arent stupid, bet they are making more now that nego is gone.
Not sure who you've been talking to but those numbers look way off. A more realistic figure would be $0.20 - $1.00 per thousand viewings of an advert, and even those might be on the high side. So you're several orders of magnitude out.

I've no doubt Nordeus balance the availability of ads with the effect on the game and how much they get paid per advert. Advertisers will also measure the effectiveness of adverts (how many times have you clicked an advert and downloaded the app or bought the product it was advertising... probably not many) which will influence how much Nordeus gets paid for the ads.
