5€ for a few dots of light? Ok...

Quite as you didn't understand the question. Now that we're both wet and warm, how about stepping outside and be done with the foreplay? [heart]

It's weird. I'm starting to get excited. I haven't felt that way in a long time about ED.

Honestly happy for you. It is a great feeling. I had that for a moment last night, but it was gone almost as soon as it appeared.

For the record, I am not even trying or wanting to deny I am far from a ray of sunshine. If you want to see me as a pessimistic nihilist, go for it. That's what I am.

I don't know if I agree with that, at least not for a brand new product and pandemonium at the office with the server update. I think what it will take to bring the price down is someone in sales noticing that a particular product isn't moving well. Something tells me Fdev isn't looking at the forum today, and when they do tune in their attention will be devoted to the patch itself.

Yeah, fairly sure they'll determine whether something is priced correctly in exactly the same way every other commercial organisation in the world does; looking at sales. Not that it's any reason for OP to stop posting overblown nonsense though,I always love a bit of that.

Nah man, no judgments from me. I just got some space wood listening to Celeste and wanted to share my feeling of emotional erection. It wasn't so long ago that I was accused on this forum of having become "embittered" so I'm just proving that even the Grinch has a lighter side:)

Glad to be of entertainment, I aim to please. Say hi to my mom.

Thematically, it makes sense for the "xmas lights" to be not worth it.

Like almost everything someone gets in Xmas, is almost always not worth it, unless is something you had been eyeing up for ages and was waiting for a discount, that's very different.

True enough. However, especially then shouldn't the non-Xmas lights be priced more sensibly? I feel that, strongly, as some may have observed.

I buy it to give Frontier a couple extra quid. That's how it works. If you want a bargain, go shop in Tesco.

When I shop in Tesco, I don't get offered a different coloured shopping bag at extra cost, as I'm leaving. 'That's how it works'?, oh yeah? You compared ED and Frontier with a supermarket. Let's go with that, shall we?

Have to love the forums though. Well, on patch days. Lots of people with a great twisted bitter sense of humour. Right at home.

Ahahahaa!! The unbelievable GALL! Although honestly can't say for sure which I find more appalling, this or the fact that the new voices are actually not free of charge. Never imagined the voices would cost, too (I know, I was naive, hindsight 20-20)! [haha] That one I will still buy though, at least when I next use the store while drunk.

Also very impressive that the paintjobs are out before the ship is! Does not seem out greedy at all, no Sir!

Glad that FD have managed to keep the online store up-to-date better than the update itself. Spot sarcasm, get cookie.

Not well impressed with today so far. Unless you count the feeling of being a target of a low blow impressed, well, then yes. Quite impressed. Take it as you will.

I have a really bad feeling about all of this, the update and the future of ED.

Just what we need... MORE ambient light in the cockpit! I'ld pay $5 to turn OFF the lighting on the seat mounted control panels...

Yeah, let's.
The price is determined by offer and demand. Since the dawn of ages. Don't buy stuff that seems overpriced and the price will go down (if the rest of the market agrees with you, of course)
Or do you write whiny letters to Tesco that milk is too expensive?

And the reaction of pricing to supply and demand is hardly ever instant or without reactive elements. You saying that 5€ is ok for lights because supply/demand... riiiight, as the supplu and demand have been so well defined for an item that just released? And yea, actually housewives do write/talk to their stores about prices, and actually it matters. WEIRD!!!

I'm okay with the £5 for the voice pack but £4 for the lights seems a little on the high side to me, but ho hum.

Meanwhile, can we have access to the livery screen from the ship UI please? Include the ability to change everything but ship-kits. I think you can reasonably argue paint can self-adapt and you really ought to be able to change bobbleheads, lights and so on surely..

That accent really doesn't know what it's supposed to be. Sticking with Victor for sure, or turning it off entirely as it has been for the last 2.5 years.

The customer always want what they are buying to be cheaper. The seller always want to get the best bang for your buck.

We can say some things are better value to what you get, subjectively but a consensus. The 6 pack livery is the best value for money for instance. You are not alone in feeling that the lights are expensive, but I choose to not pay for it. But it is their product and game, and FD will set any price they want. They can sell it for 20 USD if they so wish, we don't make the prices up. They SHOULD price it sensibly (to get any moolah), but they are not obliged or must do that.
