Wouldn't it make sense to sell stuff cheaper and have more people buying, then having high price stuff and have a few people buying? I would never consider buying these items for the current price they are asking. Seriously, even if they knocked 50% off, I probably still wouldn't be a buyer.

  • If that were the case then why doesn’t every company cut their products selling price in half? Why aren’t iPhones $500 instead of $1000? My guess is these companies know who their customers are and what the value of their products are based off their customers and that’s what they target. If I already know a large chunk of my player base will spend $12 on an emote, why would I risk dropping the price hoping that more people will buy it at a lower price to make up for who I already know will buy it at a higher price? You’ve even said cutting it by 50% wouldn’t get you to buy it. So that now means they will need at least 3x as many people to buy it now to make up for it.

  • They probably had analysts study data determine the best selling price. I mean, I bought a skin for 8 bucks..

  • There's enough people paying those prices to keep them that way. Using a small scale example if 20 people pay $12 for something that's $240 and if prices were reduced to a dollar and 100 people bought an item it would be $100. I'm guessing that's the logic they're using. Prices won't go down unless eververse sales go down enough.
