Compromise: Just Charge $5 For Now. Once 2.0 is Out, Then Charge $12

[AamesxDavid]

I don't buy the "if it's worth $5 it's worth $12" argument.

How is it that you manage to quote my post and then right below it act like I'm saying something completely different? Do you just read two words, then hit "Reply With Quote" and make up your own context for those two words?

I'm sorry, but it's just getting ridiculous at this point. So I'm going to do everything I can to make this as clear as possible. Here is the most relevant part of the post you quoted, as it relates to your response:

I'm very interested to know how the game isn't worth a $12 fee, but is somehow worth a 55-page debate. Not to mention all the time you've spent playing the game.

Saying a game is worth less than half the subscription fee that you knew they were going to charge from day one after a year of playing for free means that you're enjoying the game less than half as much as you expected. If that's the case, why are you still playing after all this time? Why do you care enough to argue on the forums over the price?

How many other ways do I need to put it before you actually respond like you understand what I'm saying?

Even if you want full price, you stand nothing to lose if they lower it.

I don't want full price. I just think that everyone's reasoning for saying the game is only worth half price is nonsense. For the last time.. pay attention.

and if the price point is just right, SE will make more money to feed their starving engineers. What's not to like about this plan?

The part where SE lowers their fee temporarily because some people claim that $6 or $7 a month will make or break their subscription. How about we just wait and see what happens? Of course SE wants to make as much money as possible, so if their numbers are so abysmal after fees are introduced, they will consider lowering it. What do you stand to lose by sending a real message to SE, and actually not subscribing when fees are introduced, and when all of these people you seem to think are going to do the same thing, wait for the price to drop? After all, the game isn't worth the full subscription fee to you; taking a little break shouldn't be such a terrible proposition.
