Increase sub prices?

The game isn’t expensive to maintain.
Bobby Kotik is expensive to maintain.
giving Blizz more money isn’t going towards better content, it’s going straight into Bobbies piggybank at this point.

In spite of record profits and the fact that according to Blizz Shadowlands was the fastest selling PC game of all time.

I’d have to leave. Sorry, Sub prices + Taxes are already inching my sub closer to $20 a month range. If Taxes go up, I might have to say goodbye. I have to look the grand total, not just what the sub cost is.
Games is already not worth $15 a month. I highly doubt they’d spend the extra money on WoW even if the price was increased. This is a game with a buy price, a sub price AND a cash shop. It’s so ridiculous already, them upping the price would kill the game.

It would increase the quality of executives bank accounts. That’s about it.

OP has written mostly inflammatory threads since he joined. 
He gets a lot of bites too.
When your ridership is down on your airline, you don’t raise the fares.
Isn’t economics a required course in school any more?
Sorry I wouldn’t put it passed Blizzard to do this. I don’t trust them after SL they knew what people wanted used it as a selling point and didn’t delivery any of it. Got people to sub with lies.
canadians already got hit by an increased price, the wind is moving south 
Actually, the employee stock purchase program was not an RSU (restricted stock unit) program. We were fully vested in the shares upon purchase and were free to sell the shares immediately upon purchase, or more practically, when they were put into our account (which happened every six months, iirc). The hold on them for two years was to avoid having to pay income tax on the 10% employee discount.
If you sold those shares within two years of purchase, you had the normal capital gains consideration to deal with, plus you had to report the 10% purchase price discount as ordinary income, too, just like it was a bonus added to your paycheck. But if you held the shares for at least two years before selling, there was no longer an issue with paying tax on the 10% discount. You only dealt with capital gains in that case.
Now, this was back in the 90’s, so I don’t know if that is how things work today or not.
/moo 
I don’t necessarily disagree? I was just discussing OP.

the current price is already laughable. this game should be free due to its insanely low quality.

I would pay 5$ extra a month for better quality.
Problem is I doubt the quality increase will be noticeable to justify everyone paying more money.
I bet you 5 grand(not joking) that it wouldn’t.

You’re free to disagree but Blizzard is a well known public entity with integrity. You can trust them to deliver high quality entertainment. Especially when they get more funding.
Bobby, is that you?

This is the old gas price thing. Gas increase doesn’t mean i get paid more at my job. I have to spend more to get the same thing.

Theres just one problem with that idea.
What guarantee would Blizzard give us that the extra money is going to go towards something meaningful with a transparent sense of design.
Most of what they do behind the scenes is smoke and mirrors.
Far be it from me to question the integrity of companies that dodge taxes.
