I want an official response.

[NoF2P]

Isn't their decision response enough? What are you looking for aside from them just telling you "hey we get that some of you don't wanna pay for things, but we kinda want you to pay for things... sorry bout it." Cause if that's what you're looking for, they've already said it without saying it and you need to just get over it. Yoshida isn't gonna email you himself begging you not to be pissed at him for running a business

I was hoping for an official response, but I guess it would be ambiguous corporate speak anyway. Sure, I can get over it, that's why I've been on the 1 month renewable plan all this time while I wait to see which way it's going. If it goes 100% F2P then I can still use it to test my hardware and admire the graphics, but I would only pay for a game, not items in it. Somehow I don't think Yoshi-P gets the final say about the cash shop, but I don't know without a response. He doesn't lose either way because all the knowledge he gains from this game can be used in future games. It's already mission accomplished for him (nice game btw!)
