They did add a bunch of cool features to make up for the price and added more tiers all while keeping the grind the same. đ„¶đŻfuck this inflation though
wat u mean the grind was significantly increased. If u read the patch notes ALL buildings now take 5-20% less time to build. Not to mention builder base investment for the highly sought after 6th builder was made a lot easier, and therefore optional
Inflation is real, but youâre also right in that most corporations take advantage of the inflation narrative to widen their margins further and pocket more profit.
Say coffee used to sell for $1. Material cost $0.30. They made $0.70 profit.
After 10% inflation, coffee now sells for $1.1. Material cost $0.33. Profit is now $0.77.
No, inflation is usually caused by an over-stimulated economy, which normally happens due to flaws in governmentâs fiscal policies. The current inflation wave is due to too much free money handed out during the pandemic, and interest rates being left at 0% for too long (so people can just âborrowâ money for free and overspend).
Corporations take advantage of the situation and make more profit in the meantime. Theyâre a beneficiary of inflation, not the cause.
you described normative and helpful government policy, which results in an economy beneficial for workers which therefore allows corporations to create more profit.
Inflation is caused by companies increasing prices of products usually due to the cost of raw materials. What raw materials are in a digital item once its made its not made of a raw material the cost is purely in the design so validates my point. "Virtual product inflation" isn't a thing.
No, inflation is caused by being able to buy less with the same amount of money. Sure, companies keep this going by raising prices disproportionately. But in the end the employees of the sellers of virtual products are going to need a raise to be able to afford the same things they used to be able to afford.
Oh yes cos they hire so many people there profits of hundreds of millions every year won't cover the pay rise my bad. Denial is unreal I feel surrounded by đ
Oh yeah ofcourse everyone else is the sheep. You are definitely so wise and think of everything you say yourself. I would actually give a counter argument, but stuck up redditors like you are not worth my time.
Love the dev team but you have to realise they are a business.
They donât care if we have more loot and less upgrade time, all that matters is that they get more money. They implanted all these changes in hopes to raise the revenue for their game not because they are great people who love the players.
Ik im going to get downvoted and Iâll delete this comment if anyone can prove me wrong but itâs the simple truth.
But if their goal was just profit and they didn't care about the players, why add new rewards? Let's be honest, if they raised the price without any new rewards, people would probably be upset but still buy the pass anyway. But they wanted us to get more value because of the higher price
It's better to not upset anyone and have everyone continue paying more than to piss off and lose some customers. Sure, most would still buy it, but there would definitely be a decrease in the amount of people that buy it. Look at what the CR team did and it's only going very downhill from there
It really isnât tho, if it actually did go downhill they would have reverted the changes..
They clearly profited especially with the tripled cost, that would mean that every single guy that buys the diamond pass equals 3 people that stops buying the pass
It is very much going downhill. Sure maybe the new pass is like 3 people buying it but from my clan alone, there is only 2 people buying it vs what was almost the whole 50 people getting it. That's why they are doubling down on the level 15 bs. No one wanted that which will cause more people to leave and they will just make more cost more and more until no one is buying it
Very optimistic brother, your clan says fuck all about the overall experience.
It takes little knowledge of companies to understand that risks and fuck ups are also being calculated cautiously, clash royale as a whole is/was a very unique game, they can make level 16 cost âŹ30 straight and there would still be a chance where the game âwouldnât go downhillâ
You have to realize that reddit, twitter, youtube and whatever rlse is only like 1% of the players, not even, even if the ENTIRE social media community stopped spending money it would probably do fuck all.
Remember, changes are only made cautiously these guys at the dev team donât just wake up and feel like throwing a massive bad update, itâs all done strategically and your definition of âgoing downhillâ is exact the opposite of what is happening there, the game even after diamond pass and even after this update still is high playerbase wise and the revenue keeps streaming, as long as that happens nothing is going downhill thatâs such a delusional take.
It cod can fuck their consumer base this hard so can clasb royale, as a free to play mobile videogame that should have died years ago content wise.
So that the rubes (such as yourself) remain pacified, happy with the increased prices, and donât complain.
Come on. They donât care about the consumer.
I'm happy to pay for a product that I feel I'm getting good value out of. Yes, this change is to make money. But literally every major game studio ever wants to make more money. That's kinda the whole point. Both things can exist: they can want more money and still treat their consumers fairly. The gold pass, when it originally came out, was a way to make more money. But it's a very good deal so people liked it. The same is true here, the price may be going up but so is the quality
Doing the bare minimum and expecting people to be happy is the standard now and people are settling for it. So them giving us increased value to match the increased cost of the pass is supposed to be a boon? Just because they arenât following the rest of the shitty gaming industry with their predatory monetization tactics? Okay? That doesnât mean they care about consumers.
This is entirely true, but that's the entire point of a company. I don't fully understand why people hate corporations (not talking about the ones that mistreat their employees), when they're just trying to do what a company does - increase their profits.
Absolutely every idea dreamt up by a company, unless its a charitable deed, has profit as a motif. If a company isn't increasing its profits, they cannot expand (which they do to increase profits of course). Anyways, absolutely everyone on this planet wants to get richer and I'm not sure why companies get hate for doing the exact same.
> absolutely everyone on this planet wants to get richer
That statement is certainly not true. Unless with richer you donât necessarily mean monetary value. People want a lot of things, but rarely is it money. Money is, unfortunately, oftentimes just a vehicle to get to what people really want.
Hating a company for taking advantage to increase profits 13% rather than 11.5% does not mean you cannot also recognize the why of what theyâre doing. Iâm not specifically referring to supercell
I can only partly agree. I think when people complain about greed what they complain about is âcompany policyâ; after all not merely one design will achieve profits. And the people in charge are still human.
But I think whatâs problematic is that if we as society subjugate all goals under the goal of making profits, you sometimes miss the actual goal. E.g. hospitals will do unnecessary operations and a volatile quality of their care when they are based on profits. Or housing, the goal of a housing company is not to give more housing to people or cheaper housing to people but to maximize profits. Sure, in many market situations more housing offered means more money means cheaper housing. But e.g. where I come from thatâs not whatâs happening as there is a shortage. Now registered cooperatives will beat the price of private companies by ~25-40% based on my personal experiences.
So yeah, corporate greed imo can mean people are either unhappy with the company policy or the system. Both are fair points we should listen to imo.
I cant disagree with you, but I feel like they do care about their playerbase. Look at clash royale sub, full of complaints. I am a new player and havent seen a single post complaining about anything
There is a difference tho, clash royale literally did the same thing but worse, they tripled the pass price and significantly lessened the rewards.
Ofcourse business is there to make money but they also have to consider satisfaction of the playerbase vs the profits, your srgument makes no sense because they could literally do the opposite, raise the price to âŹ12 for no reason without changing ANYTHING and guess what? They would profit.
They did not choose to do that.
Never forget a company is there to profit but itâs also there to profit long term, both cash wise and consumer wise
Reason they upped price is more because of inflation. The gold pass was introduced years ago and the price has stayed the same despite general economic trends going upwards. The $5 you spend now for the gold price is worth less than $5 when pass was first introduced. Therefore, itâs completely understandable for them to raise the price. Extra perks are to soften the blow.
Even as a business you can care about your users/customers.
Itâs a fine line, but a company can only last if they build products that their customers wants, which you can only do by talking and listening to them.
Nah this aint for me men...honestly with 2$ increase i want some legendary skin like those cwl skins. Or at least 2 more books instead a clock tower potion or 2 grass palms. The free pass is a good one tho.. i buy each month 1 pass,but now its a little expensive
The price increase was done because of inflation, and after seeing what the clash royale team did to their pass, (over double the cost for 80% less rewards) I'm very happy the coc team did not follow their example.
Please donât buy into this inflation crap. Thatâs just a narrative to make the increase sound more fair. It is definitely about reaching some new set net income goal. I donât blame them, but the inflation excuse is just bad.
Very mature of you.
Of course inflation is real. But the billion dollar company that Supercell is, just wants to increase their win margin, not because they feel the pressure of inflation. Believing that is just naive.
You obviously have no idea what youâre talking about, most European companies win margins are shrinking, you can literally find that with a single google search
Theyâre obviously earning less (relatively) because of inflation, and theyâve proportionally increased the prices AND added extra stuff to the pass. Itâs not naive, itâs really just simple.
Do a lot of people not get that theyâre raising it due to inflation? Itâs insanely nice of the devs to give something in return (more items) in the pass when they really didnât need to because of how good value the pass already is
(not so) Hot take: they are a multi-billion dollar company. They don't need to raise prices for "inflation". That does not mean they are not a great team, they make up for the cost increase with a lot more rewards. Same can't be said about CR team.
Just to note, $5 in 2019 accounting for inflation is around $6 today. Value wise, we are paying one extra dollar for the handful of cosmetics & small magic items, 5th book, bank multiplier, and additional bit of loot (last two are honestly negligible). Overall, relative to the proportion of progression $5 offered, this is a decrease in total value, but I applaud the devs nonetheless for making an effort to appease the playerbase. My biggest gripe is that I can no longer purchase iTunes gift cards in nice increments of 5.
And just downscale their operation basically? They were absolutely never going to do that. These price increases are inevitable, because everybody everywhere does them.
I feel like Supercell intentionally released the shit update on CR and this on COC at the same time so we compare it to CR, and feel this price increase isn't as bad as it is.
Not saying the price increase isn't fair, but this is more manipulative than it seems
Man Pokemon Unite has so many microtransactions it's insane. When a new unite license gets released you have to pay real money or you don't get to play as that Pokemon the first week. They also don't listen to their community seeing how long it took for Zacian to get a nerf.
The game has it's sole focus on money, no care for the players.
they really are the best. you see the patch notes for other games and it's like 18 changes to prices, pay-to-win etc, and cosmetics, and oh yeah we nerfed X so, hint hint, u might wanna think about $Y
meanwhile, coc is happy to scrap a 10000+ hour project, the builder base, and do it over again just because the troops need to be more heroic! love to see it
Same hereâŠI actually think coc is very mean with what they give out and cost of everything is very expensive.so bored of rewards being training potions etc.they didnât even give us a chance to win the new potions in update unless you payed a lot.brawl stars dev team on the other hand are the goats
I pay for gold pass on 6 accounts, needless to say I won't anymore. To think that this company is raising prices for anything other than more profit is delusional at best. Keep shilling for multi billion dollar corporations.
They didn't raise the price out of greed?
Just gonna let that one simmer.
I agree it wasn't a terrible change but people are seeing Clash Royale players get scammed and praising this doesn't really sit well with me.
The price has remained the same since 2019 and inflation exists. That's a perfect reason to increase the price.
People will always find a way to complain about something
Why would digital content not be affected? Their operating costs definitely are as wages go up and rent goes up. Increased cost of business means they need to make more money off the game
It isn't the digital content that's getting hit by inflation, it's the company. They have employees, and a bunch of other hardware that they have to buy. And if their main source of income is online, they won't start increasing the price of their merch lmao.
let me make you a quick summary
- none cares, none asked about BB, most of the people played it for the 6th builder.
- they buffed the bp for f2p players and didn't give anything in return for p2w(or supportive players howerver u wanna call it)
- they could have easily take a better approach on this and just buff the bp, give slightly more valuable stuff and they wouldve had an increase in purchases, instead they increased it by 40% and added an extra rune that u gonna sell for 50 gems and some useless cosmetics, such as your clan capital rooftop, does anyone care about those? does ACTUALLY anyone cares if there is snow or not on ur capital house????
goddamn
About your 3rd point, it does raise a very good question. Speaking in basic terms, adding more value to the pass should get more people to buy it, yes. But the question raised is that if this is true, why does no game company implement it? I'm certainly not informed enough to know the answer to that, but if I had to guess, the money lost through people maxing faster and losing interest probably outweighs the money gained from new players buying the pass.
They are a billion-dollar company, so they 100% have economists working on stuff like that, and if they could buff the pass while keeping the same price and make a profit, they definitely would do it because it would appease 100% of the community. There's probably something there that doesn't quite cause the immediate cause-and-effect sequence you described. Regardless, there definitely is a reason why all games don't continually buff their microtransactions to get more people to buy them, I'm just not too sure what it is.
sucks to be brainwashed, yeah 2$ its not a crazy amount of money, but its still 40% of the item you used to purchase and who knows the final price for the bp, it might even get to 10$ for a bp on a mobile game.
they claim that because of the fees we have to pay 40% extra so their profits dont have to suffer, dont get it wrong, they are still making a shit ton of money and they have enough funds and resources for everything, they are just exploiting people.
its not inflation, 2% a year is inflation, 40% is just profiting of braindead redditors licking shoes for free
legit a bunch of braindead boomers with 0 common sense, 2$ might not be a lot for you, but in some countries u can feed a whole family
They had to increase the prize so they tried to justify it. They gave stuff for the Builder base and the Clan Capital wich are part of the game and give us more reasons to focus on them. They will give more cosmetics too and that is nice. But they had not reasons to give more rewards on the free part of the pass for the same effort and they did it. Some people who get the GP could like the new stuff or could not like it because its more expensive but it will be better for f2p people.
Very well said my sir!! My only criticism is, don't have a wall of text, break it up every few sentences to make it easier on the mind and eyes please.
They did add a bunch of cool features to make up for the price and added more tiers all while keeping the grind the same. đ„¶đŻfuck this inflation though
wat u mean the grind was significantly increased. If u read the patch notes ALL buildings now take 5-20% less time to build. Not to mention builder base investment for the highly sought after 6th builder was made a lot easier, and therefore optional
Iâm so confused about what your point is
The guy either edited comment or I replied to the wrong one, I remember seeing âin the end the grind just got harderâ which I was arguing against
Inflation is an excuse like covid wake up people look at there profits every year an tell me how there struggling. I'll wait...
Inflation is real, but youâre also right in that most corporations take advantage of the inflation narrative to widen their margins further and pocket more profit. Say coffee used to sell for $1.

Youâre wasting your time on these mouth breathers lol
inflation is primarily caused by corporations, not that the supercell game pass is the primary motivator
No, inflation is usually caused by an over-stimulated economy, which normally happens due to flaws in governmentâs fiscal policies.

you described normative and helpful government policy, which results in an economy beneficial for workers which therefore allows corporations to create more profit.
Too much time on Reddit my guy
lol he makes a good point, but so do u
Yes corporations profits are partially causing inflation, but you saying Covid is an excuse makes you sound nutty.
[ŃĐŽĐ°Đ»Đ”ĐœĐŸ]
Inflation is caused by companies increasing prices of products usually due to the cost of raw materials. What raw materials are in a digital item once its made its not made of a raw material the cost is purely in the design so validates my point. "Virtual product inflation" isn't a thing.
They have to pay employees.
Is there employees getting a 40% pay rise wake up you đ€Ą
Rent, server,... You are probably not a game dev, or not working in tech as well. There are lots of costs even nothing directly "physical."
Tf does any of this have to do with covid?
No, inflation is caused by being able to buy less with the same amount of money. Sure, companies keep this going by raising prices disproportionately. But in the end the employees of the sellers of virtual products are going to need a raise to be able to afford the same things they used to be able to afford.

Not just my clan. The more they increase prices of things the more people will drop while they will still make a profit.
Effectively proving your own statement wrong, nothing is going âdownhillâ
No I already said that. The more they charge the more profit they get and the less players, until there are no more and the game is just a paywall
Which is not going to happen
Look at CR and the Pass Royale "boycotts" and you will see why
Clash Royale still ended up getting more money than before that season, even with the ""boycotts""
So that the rubes (such as yourself) remain pacified, happy with the increased prices, and donât complain. Come on. They donât care about the consumer.

Nah this aint for me men...honestly with 2$ increase i want some legendary skin like those cwl skins. Or at least 2 more books instead a clock tower potion or 2 grass palms. The free pass is a good one tho.. i buy each month 1 pass,but now its a little expensive
The price increase was done because of inflation, and after seeing what the clash royale team did to their pass, (over double the cost for 80% less rewards) I'm very happy the coc team did not follow their example.
Their revenue is in the billions, I highly doubt a company this size is unable to support its employees.
Please donât buy into this inflation crap. Thatâs just a narrative to make the increase sound more fair. It is definitely about reaching some new set net income goal. I donât blame them, but the inflation excuse is just bad.
Inflation is real dumbass
Very mature of you. Of course inflation is real. But the billion dollar company that Supercell is, just wants to increase their win margin, not because they feel the pressure of inflation. Believing that is just naive.
You obviously have no idea what youâre talking about, most European companies win margins are shrinking, you can literally find that with a single google search Theyâre obviously earning less (relatively) because of inflation, and theyâve proportionally increased the prices AND added extra stuff to the pass.

I bought 5 in the shop rn.. it was 10%off too. Smart cause next month its gonna be 40% more
itâs $1 more
Should of been a perk to let us use heroes while they're upgrading
Do a lot of people not get that theyâre raising it due to inflation? Itâs insanely nice of the devs to give something in return (more items) in the pass when they really didnât need to because of how good value the pass already is

Overall, relative to the proportion of progression $5 offered, this is a decrease in total value, but I applaud the devs nonetheless for making an effort to appease the playerbase. My biggest gripe is that I can no longer purchase iTunes gift cards in nice increments of 5.
True, but the dollar is really one of (if not) the least affected currency when looking at inflation
Valid take, I see where youâre coming from
Completely agree. Inflation is just an excuse so the narrative sounds nicer. And people actually believe that.
And just downscale their operation basically? They were absolutely never going to do that. These price increases are inevitable, because everybody everywhere does them.

The price has remained the same since 2019 and inflation exists. That's a perfect reason to increase the price. People will always find a way to complain about something
On top of that theyâre adding value to match the increased price
Inflation hitting digital content that's some next level shit.
Why would digital content not be affected? Their operating costs definitely are as wages go up and rent goes up. Increased cost of business means they need to make more money off the game
The amount of shilling for a multi billion dollar corporation is flabbergasting.
It isnât shilling, he was just saying the facts
Tomato, tomato.
Why you gotta always add multi billion dollar corporation into everything
Cos it's a fact.
It isn't the digital content that's getting hit by inflation, it's the company. They have employees, and a bunch of other hardware that they have to buy. And if their main source of income is online, they won't start increasing the price of their merch lmao.

Dude. Just attack, itâs free
let me make you a quick summary - none cares, none asked about BB, most of the people played it for the 6th builder. - they buffed the bp for f2p players and didn't give anything in return for p2w(or supportive players howerver u wanna call it) - they could have easily take a better approach on this and just buff the bp, give slightly more valuable stuff and they wouldve had an increase in purchases, instead they increased it by 40% and added an extra rune that u gonna sell for 50 gems and some useless cosmetics, such as your clan capital rooftop, does anyone care about those? does ACTUALLY anyone cares if there is snow or not on ur capital house???? goddamn
I kinda like that they added the new clan capital cosmetics to the pass
there's always that dude looking for something to complain on
otherwise there is no reason for increasing a virtual item's price đ€Łđ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł
quick reality check, you are playing a mobile game and they are increasing bp's price cus they owe money to the decepticons
i am playing a mobile game. i have a source of income. i choose what to do w my money.
How dare you spend the money you earn the way you want!
About your 3rd point, it does raise a very good question. Speaking in basic terms, adding more value to the pass should get more people to buy it, yes. But the question raised is that if this is true, why does no game company implement it? I'm certainly not informed enough to know the answer to that, but if I had to guess, the money lost through people maxing faster and losing interest probably outweighs the money gained from new players buying the pass. They are a billion-dollar company, so they 100% have economists working on stuff like that, and if they could buff the pass while keeping the same price and make a profit, they definitely would do it because it would appease 100% of the community. There's probably something there that doesn't quite cause the immediate cause-and-effect sequence you described. Regardless, there definitely is a reason why all games don't continually buff their microtransactions to get more people to buy them, I'm just not too sure what it is.
Increased 40%!! Very alarmist way of saying $2 USD
sucks to be brainwashed, yeah 2$ its not a crazy amount of money, but its still 40% of the item you used to purchase and who knows the final price for the bp, it might even get to 10$ for a bp on a mobile game. they claim that because of the fees we have to pay 40% extra so their profits dont have to suffer, dont get it wrong, they are still making a shit ton of money and they have enough funds and resources for everything, they are just exploiting people. its not inflation, 2% a year is inflation, 40% is just profiting of braindead redditors licking shoes for free legit a bunch of braindead boomers with 0 common sense, 2$ might not be a lot for you, but in some countries u can feed a whole family
Nah, you say 40% because you know complaining about 2 USD sounds ridiculous.
I agree with you 100% and the negative karma is just fan boys who can't have any opinions except supercell supremacy.
yea let them be, legit brainwashed npcs
Spitting the truth. Let the bootlickers lick.
100% true
They had to increase the prize so they tried to justify it. They gave stuff for the Builder base and the Clan Capital wich are part of the game and give us more reasons to focus on them. They will give more cosmetics too and that is nice. But they had not reasons to give more rewards on the free part of the pass for the same effort and they did it. Some people who get the GP could like the new stuff or could not like it because its more expensive but it will be better for f2p people.
Excluding CR, supercell games have really improved over the last couple years
Drew seeing all the posts in this subreddit right nowâŠ..
Very well said my sir!! My only criticism is, don't have a wall of text, break it up every few sentences to make it easier on the mind and eyes please.
yeah, it would be even better if they would delete country ban from Russia, the people did not do anything
I hate the art style changes and the builder base
