I mean what i said.
Remember the way CCP handled the ‘announcement’ of AT’s return? Awful lot of overhyping, with what ended up being little substance.
That they would then introduce the vaunted AT NFTs didn’t help optics on the case.
This time it’s following the same general track. With their price change dev blog, they specifically mention:
The new prices on Omega include all upcoming content releases for the game and have been structured to offer substantial savings when you purchase larger amounts of PLEX and Omega time.
(Emphasis added)
Considering that the last couple years has been constant roller coaster of balance changes, especially in the industry and economy of the sandbox, with exceptionally little in the way of content of significant substance, it is particularly meaningful that they would essentially communicate “We are going to do a nominally significant increase of our prices, BUT this will guarantee ‘more content’…”.
With fanfest coming soon, one would expect that ‘more content’ and ‘future releases’ would be presented, or at least teased/mentioned during fanfest. Right?
What if they don’t. What if the ‘more content’ they supposedly would present at fanfest is… relatively underwhelming? 20$/mo is a pretty steep price, and the 1 year+ sub options (the 12 month sub is the least impacted by the price change) demand some exceptionally long-term interest, which is hardly warranted right now.
