Seriously WTH are you thinking.
People preordered half a year ahead of time and within months you slash the price by a third. Last time I will ever do preorder something with CCP and I assume many customers will feel the same. |

Isn't the whole "Pre-Order" concept based around paying extra for easy/early access?
"Oh no, they dropped the price for a sale.... long after it was released...."
"A lot" of people did not Pre-Order or even Order the package because in all fairness it was very expensive. While this game can make a grocery clerk IRL be an in game Trillionare in game, the hard fact is that many players cannot afford or justify such extravagance even on a holiday without some sort of sale. |

It isn't that I mind paying 150$ for the collectors edition, I just think it is a **** move especially since it was clearly in CCPs best interest to have had people preorder. Something I clearly wont do next time, this isn't 'long' after it was released, people preordered a long time ahead or even bought it in the past two months at full price and to then slash the price by a full third 2 months after release is excessive and certainly doens't reward customer loyalty. |

Standard marketing technique, if I preorder something I expect to pay a premium for getting it early. CCP are under no obligation to provide you with a refund of the difference between preorder and retail sales, and neither is any other retailer.

Preordering is usually the most expensive route to go.
You know this.
Retail stores having sales, sometimes even have price variances locally.
You know this.
IF SOMETHING DID NOT SELL ENOUGH FOR INITIAL EXPECTATIONS, items are then put up for a cheaper price.
You know this.
This is just more useless whining by self-entitled game players who know nothing about how the world of retail sales actually works and are demanding CCP follow some business killing retail model that does not exist.

Look. I don't know where you got this idea that CCP was a decent and ethical company.
Sure I gave them money before, but doesn't mean I think highly of them.
I mean I give the IRS money too. Doesn't mean I particularly like them too. "Entitlement" is a euphemism for "I hate the way you play and it makes me cry like a baby".

Quote:Seriously WTH are you thinking.
They where/are thinking that they made these things and they need to sell them. The price will continue to drop until they are all sold. Try not to be so sore about being the sucker that made the CHOICE to buy something at a give price at a give time.
No where on the box does it say "price fixed at a stupidly high number, never to change" If you ask me.. it's STILL too high by half... so I just won't buy it. You could have employed the same choice yourself.
Quote:People preordered half a year ahead of time and within months you slash the price by a third.
Uh.. yea. Train your marketing skill up a few levels. (in and out of game) Don't you know how things work by now?

Well good.. that settles that then doesn't it? Why tell us about it? This is a marketing thing, not a CCP thing. You will figure that out eventually.

To be fair, pre-ordering is a loyalty expression by the consumer.
It's investing in the organization and, historically, making sure you got your copy of the game on release day (no longer relevant usually).
If you want to be thrifty, buy during a sale or, where applicable, when it filters onto Ebay and etc. Welcome to Rubicon!-á Freighters were too fast, so we slowed them down for you. CCP Fozzie: "But it's not back breaking"

I'm a fan of that book, and have read it many times over the years.
Over the years, I've seen many real life events related to it. Some accurate, some ridiculous.
After about 3 minutes of my life that I'll never get back, I'm still left clueless as to the relation you were trying to make there. Is there a hidden edition I'm not aware of, that delves into the evils of people showing support for a business via monetary means?
Because that's exactly what pre-orders and collectors editions are.

No more mystery codes for you then. I ordered back at preorder and the product you get now is not the same as back then... So why care? Stop complaining all the time, if ccp and eve is so unfair, you know where the door is. |

How is that in their best interest exactly. You are just saying unsubstantiated whining nonsense.

Since when is a 33% Sale excessive ? Also, isn't this product's sheer existence a gesture towards customer loyalty ?
Wow folks. We have a 21st Century Self-Entitled Consumer with no clue as to how retail operates at all. "He has mounted his hind-legs, and blown crass vapidities through the bowel of his neck."-á - Ambrose Bierce on Oscar Wilde's Lecture in San Francisco 1882 |

If you think this is bad wait for the launch of Star Citizen. I am even assuming the game will be great and yet still the screams of rage and the flood of tears will come.
People have spent thousands buying ships in that game. Can you imagine the rage when they find out that it is no more difficult to buy a $200 pre order ship in that game than it is to buy a 200M isk ship in Eve.
The rage will rock the foundations of the gaming world. |

And how many people are buying gifts at this time of year for people because a particular holiday says it is the proper thing to do? Ever check out those prices the day after? |
