Bort, baby, its time to review your supply and demand here.

I have 25 dots to boost the rest of this season.

That will cost me $100.

I can't see it worth it for the game as it is.

Which means less dots, which means even less worth it game.

I'd go 20-25, maybe 30. 100 is too much.

Demand is low Bort. Supply is essentially unlimited.

Ya gotta let go of the prices.

Or its all gonna go away sometime very soon.

And it may not be savable if you wait to do it much longer.

I think this would be a great plan! Hopefully he does something before it is too late.

Probably, but you wouldn't like how we would do it.

So by your answer insta dots are a possibility, if so when can we kind of expect them if they are.

As for if I/we would like how you would do it, you never know until you try.
I wouldn't care how you would do it as long as the cost was kind of spread out thru the players creation so there isn't a huge cost up front. Would love to start my dots at day 200 or so.

Come on dog, give us a hint. Give us something more to wet our whistles.

Take the average SP value of the dot position in WL. Give us the SPs to apply freely

Not to go all real-world on you, but you are paying for servers, and the cost of additional server space to support each individual dot is very close to $0. Making dots cost $30-$90 to support server resources that costs less than $0.01 for that given dot, means that saying "servers aren't free" isn't a real reply.

The problem with people who don't understand consumer pricing, is they look at things in the wrong manner. I used to work at an independent children's theme park when in high school. There was a 6-flags (much bigger/better) about an hour away, but this place would get a lot of business because it was cheaper, closer, and a bit different for a few reasons. As sales went down to compensate, this theme park kept raising prices. In a few years their prices were the same as 6-flags. Needless to say as prices went up, less and less people came exponentially to the point where the final year, there were days when you'd have 100+ employees and less then a dozen patrons in the park. The place shut down. Profits are sales x price. Price effects sales. Adjusting price up or down, could each increase or decrease profits.

I know you guys haven't raised the price of anything, but I'm just saying the stance that you can't decrease cost per dot because you don't want to make less profits, is looking at your business in a very flawed manner.

And don't worry, I'm not naive enough to think you guys will change actually change the flex-cost of glb1 boosts (and obviously you can't change the cost of flex since flex is used on multiple games). GLB always cost a good chunk of change, but peeps myself included love football and the game. If you guys haven't discussed however, you probably should. GLB1 is an expensive game that's aggressively priced even back when updates were regular. At this point with very few changes/updates, clearly the product does not have the same worth to customers. There is a reason that the last generation of electronics product costs less once the next generation comes out.

Because you guys aren't good enough at coding to make a player builder for this game?

Or because you'd make an insta-79 dot cost $80 up front like a bunch of maniacs?

Because servers have infinite processing power.
