PLEX is very expensive right now thread

I think it was said somewhere that the player population buying PLEX from CCP is relative constant and quite small. So demand is mostly controlled by the price under fixed supply. So what happens to CCP’s bottom line if more people intend to PLEX their accounts?

Right, in the worst case nothing, and in the best case they gain a new paying subscriber (on top of the sold PLEX!). The new PLEXer has to pay a higher price for the PLEX, which means another PLEXer has to step out because it becomes too expensive … and does what? Buy a subscription, in the best case. If he quits an Omega account nothing changes.

There’s the full quote to keep you happy

Now the relevant bit.

OK, as I already said.

@Markus_Jameson

A months game time is £9.99 while 500 PLEX you can exchange for 30 days game time is £16.99.

So for every person that subs with PLEX they bought with ISK CCP makes £7.99 more each month above the price of a cash bought sub

But you still ask.

Which I already answered.

@Markus_Jameson

CCP make more money

I’m sorry if that sounds a little snarky, just trying to be clear
