Game Designer A: "We're losing so a lot of subscribers, what can we do about it?"
Game Designer B: "We could make the obvious fixes players have been begging for for 6 months now"
*Everyone in the room laughs hysterically*
Game Designer B: "Just fuckin with you guys, how about we create a F2P model and try to make money with micro transactions?"
Game Designer A: "Not good enough, any other ideas?"
Game Designer C: "Let's have a F2P, but strip nearly every feature so the game is totally unenjoyable unless you subscribe. I mean... if we can't attract players into subscribing by making a great game, we might be able to trick some of them into subscribing by showing them a totally shitty game, with the promise it will be playable for a nominal subscription fee!"
Game Designer A: "Alright then, we'll have this up and running in a couple of days?"
*More laughter erupts*
Game Designer A: "Seriously though, 4 months from now sound good to everyone? Great! Meeting adjourned!"
