Skins could be a great idea (with an option to run with Skins disabled) and something that can be eternally monetized as well as for special occasions etc I would think this could bring somewhere around 5/10% of revenues in future.
I would also like to see the option to buy my skins at an Age...
Killing DM Ranked was like killing the DM Community. 2020/ early 2021 were among DM's best years that I have seen with many online streamers, a solid DM Discord & an especially positive attitude toward the future.
Removing such a core feature of DE and then having to wait an Age for something...
Overall AOE Pro Betting would up the stakes & excitement assuming all regulations are adhered to.
There would be new sponsors, new features etc that would make AOE a more diverse & interesting scene especially considering E-Sports.
According to https://steamcharts.com/app/813780#All there are more avg AOE 2 DE Steam Players today than at launch something I doubt AOE 4 will ever be able to accomplish...
Hence the flop of EW, no community outside of RM & no long term sustained investment.
Cos there are many AOE Communities means also you can be apart of those Communities, imo that is fun & exciting.
Yes I think it did to a degree.

Will they still invest the same for EW this yr or next?
EW & RM are not so similar & each...
I just loaded post imp rm on fast speed arabia with ultra high res and there are no boars / sheep or stragglers.
I dont think there are any obviously recognisable differences at least.
Arabia is by far the overall most popular game type (including variations) as it is the most perfect of all DM maps it is fast paced with great resource placements encouraging an aggressive style of play we all love DM for imo.
The maps you mentioned, USC_kilky, are mostly closed maps which...
People love watching DM especially when that noob Viper plays :)
The problem is converting these viewers into players through sustained investment, this is why EW flopped because of a lack of investment after initial hype.
DM infrastructure (streaming, yt etc) is no where near as developed as...
I disagree, that the total number of players / matches is only slightly higher after much more $$$ was spent on EW.
EW flopped. DM has always been consistent.
If DM had similar funding & promotion it would attract more players than EW. Even EW has this problem compared to RM. The difference is...
