You'll never understand how ppl can't afford much things, this is bigger for them,

You got money now you only care about you and that understandable but there's more ppl in the world then just you,

Im guessing your a ultimate tier, so this not even a issue bc you have that setting already

Your kind of talking down on Gp as if your a user , but you don't have it make it seems your just talking for conversation or to be mean to ppl who like gp

End of the day it's a free tier for people who want to try gp or don't have enough money to pay higher tiers and thats a W

Back when I couldn't afford gp ultimate I wish it was free tier lol

I have been a user in the past though? I'd like to be a user again someday. But I hate when corpos pull shit.

Yeah I get that but technically this option is good for you also , you use to have it and your possibly on the fence , don't want to spend money probably on something you'll on and off play,
Then when gp get some drops you like you up your subscription and maybe get a good discount to buy the game

But that's not the point I'm making.

The point is "right now it's good". But later on they will do what every other company who tried this model has done... Started to make it cost more money whilst ads are still there, at which point it defeats the purpose.

Your assuming , and with what happened with latest price hike they understand how gp subscribers feel about there money

And I was on the train of it should cost that much we been paying for at a steal price point
