[Important] Subscription

charlesbr

Hello, i am trying to keep the subscription but i'm having difficulties because its too many bills for little bit money, and the reason is i live in Brazil that is going on hard times now because of the bad management of the government, also the price of dollar (USD) on Brazilian money (BR$), the high price of internet on the inland, recently increases of energy/water prices, and inflation of basic feed commodities prices.

Look how much i have to pay comparing to a US member:
US subscriber: 30 USD for 60 days (BR$65)
minimum wage: 7,25 USD per hour (BR$16,17) (1595 USD for full time/month)

A US subscriber have to work 5 hours (1 day) to pay for 60 days game time. (non-stop time)

BR subscriber: BR$ 65 for 60 days
basic salary: BR$ 724,00/month (324,66USD/month)
or BR$ 3,29 per hour ( 1,48 USD hour)

A BR poor subscriber have to work 20 hours (3 days) (almost 5 times more work) to pay for 60 day game time (non-stop time)

Also, the tax burden of Brazil is arround 35%, and for US is arround 24%, this add even more difference, and to end it, the return to population of those taxes are the worst of the world with the HDI arround 0,8 against 0,95 of US.

And i am not talking about the language of the game, becouse there is no Portuguese-BR option for subtitles neither dubbing, this adds English classes into the price difference.

This could be managed adding one extra month on the subscription fee making it 30 USD for 90 days, it would help a lot and i and a lot more people should be able to keep subscription, i am also saying this as a strategy for you to substantially increasing your profit, i guarantee that this one month will only bring more benefits for all of us.

Thank you for your attention.

I also kindly ask for support from other players so we can maintain a more then ever, active community in TESO.

If you can't afford it don't play it. This isn't a "need" in life, it is a "want". If you expect Zenimax to adjust the cost of the game for you because of your financial hardships, then they would have to do it for everyone.

I think you have a very skewed perspective of what it's like to be an American, or what an american's budget is like. There are a lot of American's who cannot afford the monthly fee for this game (or internet access fees) either, so take that into consideration.
