how often do you see them? at my noob elo never and all the games i watched in ocf noone did build one too. so maybe theres a sweet spot between highest skilled and noobs were everyone is building these "fine" mines.

Please dude... don't embarass yourself. One, i do know very well what the basic requirements are for a rejoin function. And two, there are fairly good estimates on game sales. Even if you just randomly add 10% to those estimates and assume everyone paid full price, the numbers aren't anywhere near what AAA titles with yearly franchises bring in on the first day. factor in running costs of the company as well as retailers/distributors share and there isn't really a whole lot of wiggle room for absolutely insignificant stuff like "rejoining games", with exactly 0 ROI.

it's called common sense. take sold copies times an average selling price for the game, estimate a "dlc bought per player" amount also times sold copies... voilà rough estimate.

i also have a very good idea of what it would take for the server infrastructure to implement a rejoin system. that alone is probably already out of what relic would be comfortable with maintaining... let alone the complete netcode rework necessary.

Then rework the system.
