Somebody not happy it seems
$14.95 and they will come
With all those hardcore fuckups in the last months, how many people will still play EVE Online in April '23? Couldn’t play for 3 days because you released a patch with made many people get stuck in their jump clones for no good reason but the window crashing with an alpha-test-like error message. And it wasn’t the only “can’t play today or longer”-patch you threw out.
30% price increase for that performance is not just shameful, no, not even Father Ridicule can catch up to you like that. If you take the walk of atonement, we’ll be waiting for you, tomatoes locked and loaded.

EVE is dying, this time for real.
Returning player here, or… Well, formerly returning. I used some of my PLEX stock to reactivate and try the game again recently. Don’t have enough PLEX to keep my sub going and $20 is frankly a silly price to ask and goes completely against all other popular MMOs on the PC market. You went from me potentially paying for 2 subs for $30 a month to me paying for 0 for $0 a month. You guys should probably go full reverse on this change ASAP.

This is exactly my point too. Either CCP needs to make it affordable for multiaccounters in some way again or receive nothing at all.
I could pay much more money than 20$ a month. Having one account paid is not the issue.
Unfortunately my playstyle does require more than one account to be paid and the total sum has risen beyond sane measures.
So instead of gaining maybe X times 4,95$ as was planned by CCP business strategists, i have to resort to not paying X times 20$ a month.
Maybe i’ll switch to pay EVE only for half a year from now on to even it out. Still have to make up my mind on this but have no hurry to decide.

Something told me to buy several of the $10 dollar deals. That was just before the increase landed.Glad I did. All of that time has been used, now I play as alpha. Ane will until the next attractive deal…

It’s still cheap. I’m happy to pay if CCP is happy to raise it.
I hope this is sarcasm.

The gaming industry in general is going to get regulated soon. They wild west can’t continue the way it is. No one says you can’t profit but exploiting peoples addictions always attracts regulators.

More or less “real” than the 50 other times?

History is right…
Billionaires have proved it.
Lower prices mean more sales, higher prices equal less sales and higher losses over the long term.

Late August impact. I introduced someone to the game. They cited the price only as the reason not to stick with it and sub 
. Worse, “why play as an alpha if im never going to go Omega”
I think $20/mo is just untenable for something thats only valuable when its well populated. Especially since the game is really experienced at a premium level with 2+ accounts. Playing with one feels like “Alpha+”, not a premium experience.
Luxury good pricing works because it tied to status through exclusivity. Obviously that wont work here, Eve is like facebook or whatsapp - valuable only with a large community of users, but if nobody is there its worthless.
Furthermore, the scale of the community is an asset in itself. Release a PC shooter to 100k people who are excited and engaged with the Eve IP, and youve got 100k people who try it on launch day.
I’d love to hear CCP talk a little bit about what they’re thinking with this pricing strategy - from the outside it looks like you guys have lost your grasp of the unique aspects of the product category.

I would suspect the price is partly increase for the loss of the russian playerbase as well as the needs of Pearl Abyss to compensate their purchase expense…
Unfortunately this has hit the game in a state where also a lot of rage quitting is going on because of general discontent with recent modifications of the game and a missing outlook of new content…
