I Told Ya (Price Reduction)

[BruceyBruceyBangBang]

You told us, but wada announced it in the last live letter that it would be discounted. So, you predicted already confirmed information before the announcement. Good job!

Check the date. This was before the live announcement.

You didn't predict a discount. The community shouted for one since they would be paying for a half redeveloped game, they agreed to it in the live letter, then the pricing was announced last night which you didn't even get right either.

Booya! Crow is delicious!

What are you talking about? The point is the price reduction and how such a concept was terribly unfathomable to a vocal part of the community.

Price reduction is the point. The 5 bucks thing is moot. Sheese, I'm not Nostradamus.

Are you guys seriously gonna argue over who predicted what?

I'm just havin a laugh.

All they are really doing is not making us pay the character fee. Not much of a discount if you ask me... Not that I wanted one or felt one was necessary to begin with. The slight discount for paying in longer time periods is something everyone does and SE was probably planning on doing that from the beginning anyway.

All I can say is: if this shuts up the "I want to play a terrible game but don't want to pay for it" rejects, great. I doubt it will though. They won't be happy until this game goes f2p permanently. Which, to be honest, it is probably on its way there since it was such a big flopping failure and its small community seems hell bent on further damaging the game rather than helping it to succeed.

Ah, but that's the crux of this whole debate. Who's to say that those people wish to damage the game? Is there no merit to the argument that sticking FF14 with an outdated pricing model could also be financially detrimental?

There have been games that have switched to a F2P or F2P-ish model and have seen their revenues increase.

Yes, because they were failing so badly. It's not hard to see an increase when you are already at the bottom of the barrel.

And this game isn't?
