@ClashofClans A/B testing is just the method. It doesn’t change the outcome: players are being shown different prices for the exact same products. If the test is based on spending behavior, that raises an even bigger question—why should loyal paying players be charged more?

[kate @katecccccc]

@ClashofClans Same country
Same platform
Same products
Different prices, Why?
At the very least, players deserve to know why their prices have been increased
Is it because we play more?
Spend more?
Or simply because your algorithm thinks we’ll pay more？

[kate @katecccccc]

@ClashofClans Charging paying players MORE than the standard price is unfair, discriminatory pricing, and a terrible way to treat the players who support your game

[kate @katecccccc]

@ClashofClans Regional pricing and discounts for F2P players are understandable
Charging players in the same country different prices based on their spending history is not
There are now three tiers: $2.99 for F2P players, $6.99 for everyone else, and $8.49 for those who actually spend money

@ClashofClans Idiot. “A/B test” is not a magic word that makes discriminatory pricing fair.

@ClashofClans A game that can’t fix bugs
won’t optimize serversbut
somehow excels at treating players unequally
They split their community into first and second class players with personalized pricing and unequal rewards
The arrogance is unreal. Why should loyal players pay more and get less?

@ClashofClans I usually just copy and paste my comments here because I don’t have time to edit them every day
But today’s copy-paste comment is especially fitting. What better place to explain how you “thank” your longtime players than right under your post thanking them for years of support?

@notinlovepast PF大哥还是太文明了，只骂这种人是“蠢货”，以为只是蠢，没想到他们是根本没有人性吧？😂

@ClashofClans After years, countless hours invested, and money spent supporting your game, this is how you reward your veteran players: by charging them more than everyone else.
It’s hard to support a game that consistently shows so little respect for its own community
