There is,

We pay their wages at the end of the day. No money being paid, game falls apart, backpedal ensues.

So yes there is something we can do, we can protest by unsubscribing and not logging in.

Money talks.

What if it was something like 450 Omega then 425 for MTC? As 250 would seem like a year long sale.

True  
I was just throwing some numbers out there but 500 Plex a month seems a little to **high**  
imho  
I remember before the Plex and skill injectors came about  
The game was worth it then  
But they added Plex and Skill Injectors that imho ruined the game

That’s not how the corporate world works.

If you hurt their finances by boycotting the product, they’ll just start cutting their biggest conventional expense, which is staff payroll. And then when even that becomes unsustainable, they’ll liquidate the IP and use the proceeds from the sale for the final round of executive bonuses and golden parachutes.

The end result will be that you’ll be out of a game, 300 regular people will be out of a job, and the owners and executives will get a big payday.

I don’t think you’re going to get a backpedal on this, the more likely outcome is the game no longer being profitable with CCP being dissolved in to PA fully and the servers being closed, that being said i don’t see the whales caring too much for the time being

Perhaps CCP hiked it so high as to piss off the community on purpose so later they will come back as say,

Oh, yes. We see the issue. It’ll be $16.99/mo.

And everyone will be like. Yes! That’s so much better than 19.99! I’d totally pay that.

Thanks for listening to us CCP! Take my money.

Well, everything I say is a lie, then. The forums are “fun”, but WHY would I give away intel? That’s crazy.

Not necessarily. Popular IPs generally aren’t sent to a graveyard to be allowed to rot away into oblivion. It’s likely that whoever picks it up, which would most likely be a company like Tencent, would “refresh” and “transform” the product for a relaunch.

What this would likely mean in reality is that they’d add a bunch of emojis to the chat, throw some loot crates into the store, and get rid of the retention-hurting PvP, turning it into a fancier PC clone of EVE Echoes:

EVE would keep going, and might even _thrive_ with these new changes. It just won’t be _our_ EVE anymore.

I believe in safety comes first and through safety we will all be saved!

Saving plex is not the current path as saving plex only generates corruption.

You might recognize such corruption as Miners greed, ie;" _the abuse of entrusted power for private gain_

I get that no one likes price increases. But here’s my two pence worth…

I started playing Eve in 2005, played a lot. Then stopped. After more than a decade I have started playing again. There is a freighter full of new content and systems. The game looks **much** better, the game runs much better.

Could I reasonably expect the price of my sub to be the same as it was in 2005?  
Would you expect the devs working on the game to be on the same salaries they were in 2005?  
Has the cost of hardware, office space, utilities all gone up?

Why wouldn’t you expect the price of the game sub to increase?
