Johan talks about the latest Supporter price increase
00:00 - 00:05 | We bought Hattrick back from Zattikka in 2013 |
00:05 - 00:07 | And we needed some money fast |
00:07 - 00:10 | So we raised prices and explained the situation |
00:11 - 00:16 | The users were very understanding |
00:17 - 00:21 | Because we would not raise prices again anytime soon |
00:21 - 00:24 | And it worked ! |
00:29 - 00:31 | It worked ! |
00:31 - 00:34 | Suddenly, we were swimming in money |
00:38 - 00:40 | Swimming ! |
00:41 - 00:47 | Last week, the owners and developers met at a restaurant |
00:47 - 00:50 | to discuss the future and the roadmap |
00:50 - 00:56 | and I said: let's just raise prices and take it from there |
00:58 - 00:59 | And everybody cheered |
00:59 - 01:01 | Cheered and laughed |
01:04 - 01:06 | One shouted 20 |
01:06 - 01:08 | Another shouted 30 |
01:13 - 01:14 | And I said |
01:14 - 01:16 | I like them both |
01:16 - 01:20 | So let's make it 50 |
01:21 - 01:27 | I was laughing so hard I had to wipe my tears with money |
01:35 - 01:36 | It was a 500 Kroner note |
01:36 - 01:39 | I curled it up and gave it to the waitress |
01:41 - 01:44 | But seriously, we had to give the users something |
01:44 - 01:47 | Show them that we are still working on the game |
01:47 - 01:49 | So we came up with a new staff member, the Chef |
01:50 - 01:53 | Maybe they would like him |
01:54 - 01:56 | A chef |
01:56 - 01:58 | serving raw tuna |
01:58 - 02:02 | The users were pissed, said they were going to leave |
02:05 - 02:07 | Quit the game |
02:10 - 02:11 | Mattias |
02:11 - 02:13 | Mattias told them |
02:15 - 02:17 | No, you will not |
02:17 - 02:20 | Our study shows that 90% will renew |
02:21 - 02:28 | The more we raise the prices, the more will remain loyal to the product |
02:29 - 02:30 | They will? |
02:30 - 02:32 | Yes, we did a study |
02:36 - 02:39 | And users with a second team |
02:40 - 02:42 | What choice do they have |
02:50 - 02:55 | If they don't pay, their money and time has been wasted |
02:56 - 02:58 | What will you do with the money? |
02:58 - 03:04 | I don't know, I think I have deserved a good, long vacation |
03:04 - 03:09 | I will start planning as soon as I get back to Sweden |
03:09 - 03:11 | Or later today, down at the beach |
03:16 - 03:20 | If I have nothing better to do |
03:23 - 03:26 | Maybe I will log in and go to the forums |
03:31 - 03:36 | And promise that we will not raise the prices again next year |
