It's almost like raising prices while reducing the offerings is a good way to lower the number of paying customers

    We are not quite there yet but I'm sure there are at least a couple LLM powered vtubers kicking around that can pay a few tokens to while you watch them play games badly.

    That's why I canceled!

    I was getting $60 a year plans and then they started moving features to their "Ultimate" tier while making it four times the price.

    Wtf? 4x? I, personally, find 60 already way too much for not owning a single fucking game. Also way too much for some casual gamers who play an hour a day or so at maximum. Which I assume are their target demographic.

    I feel like $5 per month to rent a ton of games (if they are games you are interested in) is a damn good deal. Not sustainable, but a damn good deal. Heck we used to rent one game from blockbuster for $4 for like 5 days.

    According to business "geniuses", if you raise the price by 50% and less than 50% of your customers leave then you are still in the clear.

    What they don't stop to think about is that they won't get any new customers if they keep it going.
