People in this thread spending $100++ on SKINS in a video game : ๐ค๐ค๐ค
Same people Spending $20 to support the app you use hundreds of times a day : ๐ก๐คฌ
Yeah I don't think people who spend money on skins in games are people who use lemmy and hence by extension sync for lemmy
What's the logic here? People that buy skins are not enough intelligent to be on lemmy?
My logic is that people that buy skins and play games with such micro transactions must not be bothered by the actions of reddit and hence few of them would have migrated to lemmy
I guarantee you there's enough overlap. If I look at a League of Legends, lemmy community. You don't think most of those people have spent hundreds of dollars on skins?
Yeah I don't know man. The community has like 43 average users a month. So while the subset of people who spend money on skins and care enough about reddits anti consumer like practices is not null, it is small nonetheless.
You can get LoL skins for free, you just have to play a lot. On the other hand, I bought a few skins and bought ad free Sync.
I get that developer needs to eat and I kinda fully support it but I think it would be good to have a region based pricing. I think $20 would not be much to a person in US or other first world countries while it would be kinda bit much for people in 3rd world countries (where their currency isn't strong) like India.
It would be nice but then everyone would use vpn right?
~~Then... Don't buy it? Or use it with ads. Seems simple enough. There's a ton of other apps to use if you need~~
My fault I misread what you said. I think regional prices would be great.
It's showing up as $169 aud for me (in Australia)
Don't buy Ultra, just click Remove Ads instead.
Actually I never buy skins for more than like $ 20 dollars either... It's not worth more to look cool in a game.
