Is 5 dollars to much for most people?
« on: June 06, 2011, 03:52:42 PM »
First I would like to state that I am not poor, and I exclude myself from this.

From a veteren Steam/Garry's Mod players point of you I'd like to say that more players would donate if you lowered VIP's cost. Most of G-mod, agian me excluded,  is 16 and gets a 15 - 17$ Allowance. Of course, to compenstate make it server only donations. I suggest this on only two things, my expireance as a former server and frequent donator of G-mod servers. I'm not whining, nor do I actualy care how high it is. I'm just trying to help.

Tl;dr

They won't bring down the VIP cost because that would be unfair to those who already bought VIP.

We've made a lot of money with the current donation costs, so why lower it?

Also, you're not buying anything, so saying "lower the costs" is incorrect. It's a donation, and you get benefits for doing so.

It isn't about the money.
The reason it is so high is because any lower and we'd barely meet our server costs.
Please don't PM me regarding bans or anything having to do with in-game situations. Only PM me if you've been told I am the only one who can solve your issue.

It's really not that much. I found a way to buy VIP when I rarely get money.

Personaly, I'm fine with the cost. Only reason I have not donated is because I have just bought Rift, Red Faction Armageddon, and The Diablo 2 Big Pack over 2 weeks. Not like I'm even saying the system is wrong.  All I am speaking my mind from a buisness perspective, based on past expireance. I actualy agree with everyone.

You can afford expensive games like that but not a $15 donation? WTF? When I was 16, I made on average $500/mo. Its called a job. Cant get one? Mow lawns.
