while the arguments are valid (and well known for ages), a company always should offer something for the money. 100s of dollars for virtual cars while the game has no end/target is nothing, at least in my opinion. EA could adjust by lowering the gold prices for cars and therefore would make the iap's more valuable (which would not stand against the article), or also rethink the pricing strategy and adjust it once, based on their numbers.

another point is the permanent discount (which is also worth nothing due to the absurd price tags here). while special offers are a legit tool to control the income, permanent discounts are an adjustment to the official prices and (according to the article) contraproductive.

last but not least, the article lacks about numbers/cases. as said, the base knowledge is known. interesting would be facts about how far a company can go with it's prices, how effective alternatives/adjustments would be and for what cases altermative strategies would be attractive.

nowbody would comolain about the price tags, as long as FM is happy with it's income. as they (or some game changers) are whining all the time while offering a superb game experience, it looks like some adjustments (ore a comolete rebuild of the business model) would make sense.

just my 2 cents...
