All we have is this... https://worldofwarships.eu/en/news/general-news/premium-shop-price-decreases/ Quote Premium Shop Price Decreases From September, 9 until the end of Update 0.8.8 we are running experimental price decreases in the Premium Shop. The cheaper bundles just got cheaper! For example, a 30-days Premium time bundle now costs €8.19 / £7.01 instead of €9.95 / £8.52. This change affects not only Premium time, but also ships. For instance, VI Monaghan now costs €16.12 / £13.79 instead of €18.51 / £15.84. This decrease applies to all types of items found in the Premium Shop. So... around 18% for "Premium Time" and around 13% for "Premium Ships"... Leo "Apollo11" 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is just a test to prove the point one way or the other (and to shut up the pro low price people in the WG office). There may also be an element of PR here - quite a lot of us always answer 'which premium should I buy' questions on here with a variation on the theme of 'something you'll play a lot because premiums are over-priced'; if too many people believe that things in the shop are too expensive, then WG have a problem. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Soooo if we want to encourage WG doing more such prices ... big spending should be done now? The problem is that for this kind of thing, the decrease is not big enough. I mean, a lot of small bits make a large effect for WG, but a few euros discount on a premium ship doesn't make me rethink my "this ship is too expensive for what it is" sentiment. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[PSI] talpadragos Players 211 posts Report post #37 Posted September 10, 2019 In the last year they have increased the prices and lowered the prizes. So this is a fake reduction. Also i expect some kind of price drop on their birthday. I`ll wait and see. If they continue with this idiotic politics, ill continue not to buy anything. yey... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aye, but if they're right and the model changes as a result, they'll still shut up. It's the profit bit that matters (goodness knows how WG calculate that though); I was once involved with a very similar test and the lower price produced both greater sales and reduced profit, so from a pure bottom line perspective, the higher price was the better business decision in that case. Equally, the higher price broadcast the message 'we are expensive' as most people had a handle on what the product should cost, based on the market; so from a reputational standpoint, the higher price was damaging - people were less likely to buy other stuff because they assumed all products were similarly expensive.

[THESO] Kenjiro_ [THESO] Players 991 posts 12,433 battles Report post #45 Posted September 10, 2019 You Europeans (western ones at least) don't fully understand the price gap between steam and good old wg accounts. Due to steam regional pricing, wg shop is litterally 10 times more expensive for me during steam sale periods. I won't buy anything at all from wg shop except maybe %75 discounted premium time if they keep throwing that at my way.. Therefore, 3 euros discount over 30 euros doesn't mean anything at all... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd say you can't have infinite growth of naval game, which is niche theme as it is. So I guess its simply saturation - everyone even remotely interested in ship game already heard, played or play WoWs.

MacFergus Beta Tester 1,067 posts 4,880 battles Report post #48 Posted September 10, 2019 Price drops to be expected with declining numbers , New players bring in the business unfortunately nobody wants to play a broken game with p2w mechanics that seems to be the opinion of a lot of reviews on steam. Submarines seem a last ditch attempt to salvage the game imho , Ships were well overpriced anyway. They needs Subs and not the kind that dives underwater . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[I-J-N] Karasu_Browarszky [I-J-N] Players 13,025 posts Report post #50 Posted September 10, 2019 I don't know what the game was like in alpha/beta, but I've been playing since open beta and like I said a thousand times before, I don't like the direction the game's taken since then. Introducing subs into random game play would, IMHO, be a huge mistake no matter how they do it. I'd welcome proper size maps for the higher tiers, but not if it that would come with subs, the submersible underwater kind, not the paying kind. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
