[Discussion] PLEX and Omega price changes feedback thread

Sell into the next pump then, it bottoms out after that and that will take a longer time to recover back above the mean unless a unicorn appears that craps gold. Bottoms take much longer to form than a top.

This definitely isn’t going to work at all. Mass cancellations incoming. You guys got a way to monetize from Alpha clones directly? Otherwise this change is an absolute disaster for CCP.
Layoffs incoming, will check again in six months.

They do actually, it’s called daily alpha injector

Addiction or not. Too late…

Yea.

But is EVE an addiction or a compulsion?

Guess CCP is betting the house to find out.

Ok.

But companies really, really like RMR (Reoccurring Monthly Revenue), which a subscription is.

RMR gives your valuations credence. Like a majority of your expenses, it is cash that you can expect to come in every month to offset the $ flowing out.

Alpha injectors are point sales. Fickle and mercurial. I’m willing to bet that CCP put them in as a gateway to Omega or as a way to monetize whales or people that won’t subscribe to ANYTHING.

But as a point sale, they don’t pump valuations and are really hard to count in when you go to the bank for a loan or capital line of credit.

Discounted Future Expected Cashflows = Company Current Valuation

Well, the company has at least more value than an altcoin… for now.

The market run is over (check my charts in the Bitcoin topic).

The entire economic mindset is ā€œinflation is goodā€ so it won’t be coming back down long term.

but its not, the only thing the FED cares about is inflation and unemployment rate. Also, fixed income/retirees are getting hammered. Not sure many institutions want long term inflation at the current level.

I suggest you check the purchasing power of currencies since Nixon and indeed Roosevelt. In fact since the Federal Reserve Act.

Even when we get back to 3% inflation, costs won’t go DOWN. They will ā€œjustā€ be increasing at 3% as opposed to the 8% we are seeing now.
The subscription will never go back to $15 the same way a gallon of milk will never be $1.10 again, or a gallon of gasoline 96 cents.

Perhaps I misunderstood you. If you are talking about individual commodities, of course prices will fluctuate over time.

I understood you to be talking about the economy as a whole, in regards to inflation.

The last time the US has a negative inflation rate was in 1954 at -0.7%, so broadly speaking, prices don’t go back down.

Not trying to hijack this thread, will contact you in game

I have been long time player of eve and as an Australian i don’t see the value in omega. Us Aussies have to pay USD prices and suffer the exchange rate. The cost of omega is now close to $30 AU . You could buy a netflix, amazon prime and part of an audible subscription for the same price of a eve subscription. It’s now are hard sell to me.

I’m lucky in a way that my character is max skilled alpha so i can still play and be useful to my corp.

As a canadian i can say our situation is similar, 20$ USD is close to 30$ CAD, and there’s no option to pay in CAD.

Well in EU they choosed to make Eur=USD… so makes 21$ the new monthly fee.
So now its one eve account vs prime+netflix and save like 5$.
or almost 2 other subscription based games per month.
(ffxiv starts at 10,99€ per month).

If you take into concideration that no other game ā€œforcesā€ you into multi accounting like eve…
most even dont allow it at all and it dosnt makes sence there anyway…
that sums up even more.

With the decending playernumbers… that increse will make it even harder to get new player into eve…
i mean… the bait for new player to buy their first sub for just 6$ per month will help…
but after that 3 month are gone… and than they have to pay 20$ per month or need to sub for 2 years in advance to get the price kinda reasonable…
(if they didnt learn in time you even have to run multiple accounts for many reasonst very often)

Well… i still think that was a really bad move in the current state.

but well… we will see the outcome in 12 month or even later when the last old priced sub runs out.
Will be interesting to see eves state than if it didnt get shutdown before… i mean maybe by than we have again average 50k player or even more… who knows…

But at least right now ccp should have taken enought money to be satisfied couse of the panic buys :smiley:

EvE’s buisness performance tells its own story
