Just adding my 0.02 cents - hoping for a price re-assessment. This game has aged and unfortunately the "norm" for years has been for players to use the Argentina trick (and tricks before then) to purchase "cheaper" funds...so now in the mind of players we will be paying more (in some cases DOUBLE) for the same old game...There's no way of justifying spending that much on a game like this...but it's a double edged sword...most still enjoy playing the game and the camaraderie that comes with it. but due to it's free nature I'm sure EA depends on the funders to keep it running, so if that revenue gets slashed now with less players funding (I believe there will still be some who fund at full price, but revenues will still be lower as quantity of funders will drop drastically), means the game will likely close. Maybe that's the goal if the game isn't bringing in enough revenue anymore? Only the team at EA truly knows its intentions...
Here's to hoping for a price adjustment so we can all continue playing!
