Are you on crack?
That's the greediest ******* **** I've seen since War Z's server fiasco. (now called Zombie Survival Stories or some stupid ****).
Don't give me that supply and demand bullshit either. Purposely limiting items to raise the demand doesn't justify increasing the damn price by 33%. That's shady as fuckin hell.
How hilarious it is, that after all the bullshit I've waded through on the development team, and not minding the length of time it takes to create a decent game, It's the marketing team that makes me say **** you and your game.
See you on the PS4 if you ever ******* make it there with you greedy assholes.
Oh look, another poor person with an entitlement complex.
Did you really just say that?

If I sell 50 widgets at $100 dollars vs 200 widgets at $20 what's the better plan for a profit seeking company? I'd provide more examples concerning a way to nip consumers at their individual price points but I'm sure that's way beyond the level of the average troll to comprehend.
I think you example is loaded. You cut the price by 1/5th but only increased sales by 4 times which is dishonest not knowing how the price would effect demand.
Since this is an instantly consumable high-demand good that is needed constantly, odds are that those who would have bought $100 worth of widgets would still spend close to the same if not more, while at the same time increasing the amount of people whom would buy, most likely drastically.
I think if we were to be honest CCP just left a bunch of money on the floor. |

So let me put this a way that your Reagan worshipping mind might understand.
Remember the dis-proven Laffer curve? The one where if you tax at a higher rate you get less taxes? Well supply and demand works kinda the same way. This means that by pricing these items so high, CCP has actually decreased the amount of profit they could make from these items. (i know incredibly simplified but consider the audience.)
If priced at fanfair pricing, people may have bought enough of these boosters for a year, spending hundreds each. Instead they decided to overcharge for them and most have turned away.
Dear shoeless hippy, How about you let capitalism work. If they arent selling well, CCP can do something about it on their own.
Dear Mr. Republican (I can't think of a worse insult tbh),
I know your educational system is horrible, and you live in a neopotism based economy, so I forgive your cro-magnon views on the poor (btw jesus loved the poor and hated the rich). This is reality though, we are looking to engage in a MUTUALLY beneficial relationship with CCP as consumers.
While I have no problem walking away from the omega boosters, I do have a problem with mismanagement in the marketing division of a game company I greatly enjoy. They are throwing away GOBS of money, and that type of descision making process does not inspire confidence in the future of this game I enjoy.
Oh and to the people complaining about baying more in Euros, be glad we don't have many Tea Partiers or american republican/christians. I know I will gladly pay more to keep that type of society out. |
