8 dollars for 14 days of vet membership?

Rant

See, this is why I think you should be able to review Steam items even if you haven't purchased the item: to a longtime player with half a brain, this is a total ripoff.

That said: to a new player, it's an unreasonable cost for 14 days of the premium membership for any game. Without even opening the game, they're already being pushed away by the idea that it's 16 bucks a month for premium membership.

A person is spending 8 bucks would get 14 days of vet membership, or they could spend 20 bucks to get 90 days and a little bit of leftover gold. That's at least a 200% markup. That's not a "you get a better value for spending more at once" kind of deal; that's a tax on ignorance that cannot be helped for a lot of new players.

Technically the 14 day veteran DLC was meant for the Hacksaw Ridge Bundle, which was actually a really good deal when it first released because it was discounted. Proof

So you were getting 14 day veteran for less than $2 but that promotional discount is just not running anymore but the bundle is still available. Maybe their partnership with the movie producers and/or steam only allowed so many purchases to be at a discounted price?

Also, you seem to forget that this is the only way for you to gift other people vet.

Technically, yes, but I could mail a Steam gift card in a box filled with rocks and even including shipping the cost would be less.

I earn the cost of vet membership for the year in about 3 hours of work. I wasn't bitching about the cost of money, I was pointing out the borderline punishment of new players by pushing a "deal" on them that comes with a 250% load to anything comparable in price within the game.

Most people that play F2P games don't earn more than minimum wage, so price is important to them--especially when it's the first price tag they see before even getting into the game.

Thats a good point, when I started I was like $20 for vet for three months? f that! but then I realized how much I spend on snacks or doing anything so I started to save a lil here and there, all off a sudded I had a three month membership and wow I like haveing 4 slots for equipment :) so when that ended I easily had enough saved again for the year deal when it came out. I almost got a three month membership with just credits, but then my computer was going slow so I clicked a bunch and accidentally bought a 700k tanker package.

I don't even know what your point is, and that's because I think you don't know what mine is.
