I’m personally not seeing the value. It’s very rare I see something that I want to play on the extra tier and honestly most of the time I’ve already played it.
With the portal not even supporting cloud (and I only just realised there’s the whole proprietary wireless sound technology issue there too) I’m not sure what the attraction is supposed to be of it all.
This is what I mean by hamstringing. It should be a no brainer. The portal, if it supported cloud, would immediately create a little feedback loop where you could justify the price hike alongside the outlay for the hardware.
But as it stands. It adds nothing much, so the price hike seems… mealy mouthed. A phrase I use a lot about jimcorp at the moment.
At least for me, it’s really not justifying itself even at the current price.
