And even ā¦ you wonāt believe it ā¦ but there are regional prices in ff14
Yeap take my money elsewhere and write a scathing news article driving others away from CCP and EVE. Being a Game Journalist with a large reader base has its perks.
I canāt wait for CCP to go bankrupt and for all these devs to be homeless

Yep! Iāve checked them out a number of times myself. I guess my point im trying to make is that eve functions in a very similar way, Planetside as well. You need people for the game to function. Every sub lost isnāt just 20 bucks they lose, but a piece of the game. This is something that can snowball for this kind of game too. Then you start getting deeper into the rabbits hole of instant action, teleporting, instances, etc and the game becomes something entirely different. Iāve seen it before and it is ugly.
Every sub lost, is a piece of the game itself.

Good luck with that. Remember your article the next time you ask your boss for a raise to cover inflation.

Yep, You keep thinking you will eventually get there.
inflation is a pretty trash argument considering other games are either free or still 14.95 a month for subscriptions and also pushing out MORE content than CCP is. I understand you like this game and probably find it to be 20$ worth of value. but the reality is that you are in the minority. and the MAJORITY of people do not think itās worth that per month.

Thatās the thing. None of these people care that CCP has been basically eating 19 years of inflation based losses for the players benefit. But they wouldnāt do the same in their own real lives, they EXPECT cost of living adjustments and raises and decry ācorporate greedā when they donāt get it.
Would I rather not pay 5 bucks extra per month per account (thatās an extra $25 per month for me, I pay monthly)? Hell yea, Iād āpreferā they tell me āyou can pay lessā!
But I recognize that since I started in 2007 they havenāt raised the price once. So, yea, itās overdue. Lots of folks canāt accept that.

All these shills, Iāve got 16 accounts and have plenty of time in the past had them all active, I pvp, thatās what I enjoy, I donāt pve much at all, all 16 weāre online from my wallet, 5x16=80 for me to use them for the same thing as before in the same content. Your going to be the sad ones when you get a year sub for a game that dies in 6 months, because a huge margin of people canāt afford to play now. A friend of mine who uses a sip n puff controller because he is paralyzed barely afforded his sub, guess heās not privileged enough to play anymore? This is a feedback forum, if your here to shun the people who are here and upset because of the real life impacts of this you need to understand this is a feedback forum not reddit, your personal attacks on the other players does not add to the conversation.

āI understand you like this game and probably find it to be 20$ worth of value.ā
Actually I donāt think that at all so try again.
IMO sub games/software are moronic and I donāt pay.
Why increasing the price CPP corporationā¦ you guys will lose more players and eventually kill the gameā¦ the only way that keeps me happy is when coming home from hard and stressful work and play the game, it calms me down and i enjoy playing the game. If you guys go as plan and increase the billing prices, i will discontinue my 11 accounts and quit the game and all your other games that you guys made and find me another game producer to play

you act like CCP devs are destitute and barely eating, Subs are not the only form of monitization in this game, They are not taking a loss. To believe that makes you look stupid. Other games are dealing with the SAME inflation and HIGHER cost of development (because they actuallly ā ā ā ā ā ā ā develope the game) than CCP is and theyāve not increased their sub prices at all, and some of them are Free to play.
