Do ppl truly understand what supporting Voltageâs new Love Choice title means for the future of Love 365 and Monthly VIP passes?
Hereâs a look into what will happen if people support this new titleâs main stories being Love Choice, even playing it out of curiosity. This was posted in FB and makes good points.
Why is this new LC title a bad idea to support you might ask? Lemme tell you my thoughts.
1) If we âtry it outâ whether out of curiosity for LC or because itâs being sold to us as âsuper sexyâ compared to other titles, we will in fact be giving Voltage the green light to henceforth make every future title LC, killing our P2P app forever. They will use your âcuriosityâ as an excuse to make every single title LC. So even if later you hate LC, itâll be too late.
2) Playing this LC title will be, in essence, telling Voltage that we are cool with them lying to us, that we are pushovers who will look the other way, not holding them accountable for their promises. We will be showing them that no matter how many times they lie to us, we will continue to support them and their empty words. Are you ok with sending them that message, because Iâm not. I think promises should mean something. In business, if you make promises to your clients, you damn well better make good on them or there are consequences.
3) If all future titles main stories are LC, we will in fact be making the Monthly Passes obsolete. 95% of us use the passes to buy new releases at a 'discountedâ equivalent. If all new releases are LC, there will be nothing to use passes on. LC canât be bought with passes or coins.
4) Do you enjoy waiting hours between reading chapters? No? Neither do I. It breaks up the flow too much to enjoy the story. With LC, we wait hours on end to read 1 freaking chapter. Or we pay hearts to read faster. But the price of reading at our own pace is stupid high. Sound good? Not really.
5) If you want to pick the best answers and get the CGs and best ending, guess what? Thatâs right! More hearts! The cost of getting all these is astronomical. Youâll be paying upwards of triple or more to get the CGs, best ending and to not have to wait.
6) Do you enjoy paying for CGs and no waiting between chapters and then NOT getting to even keep the story to read again? Yup. Thatâs right. You want to read a LC story again? Wait again or pay up again. Sounds neat! Ohhh, butâŚthey say theyâll give us a campaign to keep it! Which brings us toâŚ
7) Even of you get a campaign to keep it, its limited time offer. Meaning? If youâre busy, or donât have the money right then or whatever reasoning you have, you know life?? You miss it, you will never own it. What about anyone coming into the game later? They automatically miss out on ever owning LC stories? Howâs that fair? Not to mention yet again how much money itâll cost you to own completing the campaign in time. People complain enough about how overpriced the subs and such are. You think those are high, you ainât seen nothing yet.
8) Sales. Or more like, lack there of. LC will never be included in sales. Might be a small point to some, but to others, itâs a big deal.
9) This is likely my biggest (in my mind). Supporting a company that feels it perfectly acceptable to lie and mistreat their customers. Voltage has a record of trying (sometimes succeeding) to do us wrong. Take for instance the SITSC issue. This company tried to force us to rebuy stories weâd already paid for, simply because they failed to update the game to be able to transfer. It was THEIR mistake. And yet they thought it was perfectly fine and good business sense to make their customers pay the price. We stuck together and put our foot down. We told them it was unacceptable. The backlash was great. And yet, what was their first â atonement â? Their answer was to offer us a 'discountâ on the stories weâd already paid for. Again, thinking it was in their right to still force their clients to pay for part of their own mistake. Still, we said no. We refused their pathetic excuse for an amendment. We told them it wasnât good enough. We stuck it out and finally they did right by us, albeit very begrudgingly. Incidentally, they did succeed in forcing us to pay for PIL stories again when they pulled that crappy trick with changing 2 of the sprites to the JPN versions, proving they arenât above shady tactics to get more money. Are we really ok with letting them continue to do these sorts of things?
I, for one, am sick of Voltageâs lies. In a world of business, trust is a huge deal. If you canât trust a company to keep its word, why would you continue to do business with them? If we donât put our foot down again, they will turn 365 into a LC, F2P app.
When Love 365 first was in the making, what did they promise us? âDonât worry! We promise it will always remain STRICTLY P2Pâ. They failed to keep that promise. It wasnât even 6 months after the app opened they put in the first LC sub. The backlash was immense. What was their reply? âDonât worry! Weâre only testing it out! Only a VERY select few stories will be LC. Rest assured, Love 365 will remain MOSTLY P2P!â And now? Now theyâve broken that promise as well.
Donât fool yourself. This title is only the start. Every. Single. New. Title. Will. Be. LC. From here on out UNLESS WE make them accountable for their promises. Stand up to them. Force them to keep their word. Teach them that in the world of business, itâs the CONSUMERS whom hold the power.
If you like waiting hours to read each chapter, paying ridiculous amounts of money to get the CGs and best endings, not being able to keep the story, and not being able to use Monthly passes on new releases any more, then by all means, support LC. But if you think Voltage should do right by us, if you believe Voltage should be made accountable for their lies and empty promises, then send them a message by not playing the new title. Donât touch it.
Weâve seen what we can do when we stand up and stick together. We get results. We did it for SITSC, we CAN save Love 365 from becoming LC. But you need to take a stand. I, for one, am asking Voltage to honor their promises. I choose to make them accountable. Will you?
