Quoted from Insanity199:But Stern isn’t making Premiums anymore. From their perspective, there can’t be any cannibalism of sales.
but it devalues the thing people already bought, thinking they wouldn't be able to have those features without buying the higher end game.
Also, they could make more in the future.
Quoted from Chief_G:Disagree with DNO completely.
I am a high tier buyer and think it's perfectly fine if others upgrade their machines with the cool mechs.
Ha, that's all fine. People have been trying to upgrade low tier games into "LE's" for some time now, often with great results, often not-so great.
But if Stern starts selling everything but the little plaque and Certificate (that aren't even on Prem.), are they really still pro's?
Some people bought a JP topper just to have the exclusive GOAT mode, and now they add it if you have Insider Connect+. That could hurt sales of a future topper with a mode included.
I have all tiers of machines, and I actually don't care if someone wants to try to dress up their game and make it blow bubbles or whatever, but i can totally see why STERN doesn't want to sell tier upgrades seperately.
Quoted from Chief_G:Upgrade kits would be a huge seller. I'd pay up for the kit, many would. Name your price stern.
...if you buy Prem./LE, why would you need a kit?
