Be Right Back, Uninstalling

Well at least I still have warframe

I just don't understand why they don't just make shit cheap

I mean the apple iOS store blew up so goddamn fast because you never (or rarely) paid more than $1-$3 for ANYTHING on the store. Apple literally got filthy rich from that, and they only took a small cut of that $1-$3. PS2 on the other hand would be getting almost all of it.

Microtransactions aren't so micro when they cost the same an indie game, or at least one that is on sale

Who cares if that means everyone will just buy a bunch of shit and not have any guns to unlock? You'll make an assload of money and most players that actually stick around stick with the same few weapons anyways. Besides cosmetics are an endless money sink already not to mention certs.

Because suits don't operate on logic, they just see dollars and cents and figure that charging more = more revenue.

But fuck you corporate, I'm not your personal ATM and treating me like such won't end well.

Barring your 'fuck the man' attitude, its actually very detrimental to overcharge. It gets short term gains at long term expense and is a function of time-value-money.

There's a balance to achieve and too often companies miss it

[/quote]Mhmmm, and with all these new things that we can spend money on (implants, weapon attachments), everything feels relatively more expensive because there's so much more you can do with that $5 and it feels like you get even less now...

I hope Smed wakes up one day and has an epiphany on this stuff, because I truly loved this game (and still do, despite all of my rage).

Hell, maybe I'm raging so much because I loved the game so much. :'(

I still have 2500 SC lying in my pocket, with 3k SC worth in cards in my desk.  I honestly wish to spend none of it.
