You should lower your pricetag

[Luupho]

In my country you have to pay 65,-- Euros to buy your game. Most AAA titles on pc are just 50,-- Euros.

I hope you fix that for release because that will get people to not buy in.

... i don't know to come down on the price tag would mean to have a subscription model or something which just isn't viable atm...

The game will have a subscription at launch.

which is fine for at launch but until then they need to make money again a sub isn't viable atm

Which is both good and bad.

Good - because sub-based usually means "not pay-to-win" and "not riddled with microtransactions".
Bad - because the game needs to be *very* polished AND needs to heavily invest in advertising to attract a paying player population big enough to sustain the devs. Which, in turn, takes a big dev team, plus someone in the marketing department, plus... A bunch of other people - which needs a lot of money to keep em all paid. I learned that Embers Adrift exists by pure chance, there's next to no information about it, and that does not bode well given how dependent MMOs are on popularity.

Games without a hefty price and sub have to make money other ways that I feel are much worse for the games and my wallet. A $50 game with a $15-20 a month sub gives the developer money to run the game and pay its employee's . I mean in all honesty that amount is kept much lower than it probably should be. 20 years ago the cost was about the same for a mmorpg and sub fee. So now 20 years later when EVERYTHING has doubled in price (at least here in the USA) the games are still the same? I am not wanting to pay more at all. I love the amount of play I get from such low amount of money, it's very nice but I can't really help but thinking they should probably charge more lol. But please don't lol.

Also I just added up what my wife spent playng a free to play mmorpg that makes money buying "optional" stuff with real money in the inn game store and I would have saved so much money had that game just had a hefty initial price and a sub. The funny thing is all the stuff she bought and payed for in that game used to come with games and be covered by the cost of the game!
