Except this is nothing more than a slap in the face to people that bought it already (most of which are ps+ members)
So in other words: **** move CCP. |

Except you forget now that consumer confidence will be crushed, I know now I'll refuse to buy anything from CCP, if several others do the same CCP will have to ***** out and lower the price because everyone won't buy anything expecting a price drop.
It happened to the 3DS. They had to cut the price because people wouldn't buy it. It was a slap to the consumer, so to apologize they gave them free games.
But now the vita releases and the first thing out of the majorities mouth is "I'm not getting it until the price drop" people expect now that if they refuse to buy a product, it will force the price down and they'll buy it then.
Same principle here. If we refuse to buy any more packs from CCP they will have to lower the price.
Aka with this move it shows that CCP has lost consumer confidence and is trying to get it back.
In short. They sold crap for merc packs so they are screwing over those who JUST bought it to try and get new people to buy it. |

It's not really anything to do with the price.
It's about showing a little bit of respect and thanks to your most dedicated followers.
And the difference between this getting a sale so insanely early compared to most games is that retailers decide sales for games, retailers that almost ALL have a price garuntee so you can get your money back if an item goes on sale. Since this was a choice by the developer to lower the price for a sale, it's a lot more personal.
It also is as noc says. The item we purchased has no value until the game launches, so until the game launches, it is considered a pre-order, which means in the case of a price changed, it should be for everyone who had pre-ordered the goods, which hold no value until release.
But really mostly about forgoing your dedicated following in order to make more money in a short time.
Of course we will always have the fanboys (most of the time blind fanboys) that say "well I would pay 5x the amount for this!" which is a load of crap. |

So in other words: **** move CCP. Blame Sony bro, not ccp. The same **** happened with bf3 and b2k, 'preorder bf3 and get b2k free', then dice go and slap those people in the face with y offering it with premium which meant that those who didn't already own b2k and bought premium .........got a better deal than those who did own b2k and bought premium. It happens
Except price is determined by the publisher, in this case CCP.
So you agree with me without even knowing you did. |
