I don’t fully understand why you’re getting billed AND have the option to reactivate simultaneously. One would seem to be exclusive to the other, thus I figured those two screenshots were taken at different points in time one before and one after you had paused.

You have a +tax tacked on there. I’m assuming that comes up to $12 in the end then. Looking at the reactivation “offer” it does not specify tax and since everyone I know also grandfathered into the classic system pays 12. I’m going to go ahead and call this mystery solved.

No it says 12$ before tax in the body of the email. I just copied the e-mail subject

Well I guess they just want to screw you over personally then.

More likely a softwaregore issue where they forgot about people grandfathered into the old price. It says previous choice and monthly users are the only ones who are applicable for the offer, but they probably forgot that classic runs at a lower price. Generally only premium and basic are available, and getting premium for 12$ a month is less than 19.99 a month (or 14.99 for basic). So yeah. I chalk this one up to an oversight. I was just laughing at the oversight. Geeze.

I actually quite like it, I know it isn’t great for business and acquiring new customers, to many other companies majorly penalize loyal existing customers so it is a nice change.

I know what you mean. I feel like the gap in this case was a bit too much though and ended up dissuading a lot of new people from being interested at all. Like why would anyone pay 20USD for less than what people are paying 12USD for? They probably shouldn’t have had the gap so great. I also feel like it strong-armed a lot of people on the old monthly plan into keeping their subs running because they absolutely didn’t want to have to pay the new high price when things switched to choice.

Nothing compared to things like my internet, paying over double what new customers get which is a $60 a month difference, quite ridiculous. Actually this conversation got me looking into their prices and I am going to contact them because even after New Customer promotional period, I am paying way more than their non-promotional non-bundle price.

Oof yeah that’s insane. Do they have a monopoly in your area? Cause it sounds like you should find a new provider if they don’t try to make things more fair for you. Not sure how it goes with internet but I have a pretty decent discount on my phone plan and some free extra data from just bringing up this kind of stuff with customer service and telling them I’d take my business elsewhere if we couldn’t find a solution. They usually know they’re ripping you off but won’t remedy it unless you actually complain because why wouldn’t they want to take extra money if people will just accept it without questioning it. It’s shady af but they do it cause it works.

If you pause being on a Classic plan, they don’t remove any benefits, yeah? I want to double check xD

They don’t remove the classic plan status for you, but you do lose the store discount and trove access until you pay for a new month.

it’s cheaper to get the bundle solely for Void Bastards than its sale discount alone, so easy decision for me,
rest of the games were just gravy on top

Nice! ^^ Hope you can play and enjoy some of the other gravy. Beat Hazard 2 seems off the wall interesting, since you can use the music you already have/like with the game. I’d intrigue to see how people like that one.
