Piggy Bank Pricing vs Free

channie8

G'Day Everyone,

I have been checking things out and decided to ask this question.

To be fair to all and keep King Games free, would you be willing to pay for a Piggy Bank if the price was lower, across the board, in all King Games?

Thank you for tagging m

I almost never buy Boosters or gold, but if the price would be reasonable I would make a thought.

G'day @Cagnes

Thank you for your vote!

Yes I noticed many people frustrated with pricing, so I wanted to get an idea of what gamers actually thought when it came to their idea of a reasonable price :0)

Good morning @channie8, thank you for tagged me.

Basically, I don't buy anything, neither gold bars nor other things. I think the gold bars that Spier has earned shouldn't cost money. But I know that there are many people who spend money on it. The price should therefore be reasonable.

You’ll not see the piggy banks offered for free, nor would I expect it.

Ultimately, King games is a company. And all companies have to concern themselves about a bottom line. Above that, if a company is publicly traded, they have to worry about profits.

I’m fine with it. Because that’s how the world works.

G'day @headoperations,

Yes I agree lol

I've read many comments about making it free and though I'd just get an idea of how much players think is "reasonable" to pay for one.

Did you vote?

No I didn’t vote because it wasn’t posted in US currency, so I didn’t know what it would be.

But, I’m of the school of thought that believes anybody will pay whatever if they feel it’s warranted.

Hi Channie and everyone.

I have never paid anything in any game. I'm not going to say that it is impossible for me to do it, but it is not in my intentions. It is true that companies are there to make money, and I only play for fun, I would never pay.

G'Day Everyone,

I too am unsure of the currency exchange. I do know though that American dollars are double the prices of Australian dollars lol Just at a guess from what I've seen on websites, if I was to pay $1.49 for an item in Australian dollars then I'd expect to pay around $3 - $3.50 American and slightly less in pounds.

Also, rather than adding to discussions about getting "free" piggy banks because "we work so hard to fill them", I was just wandering, out of the 3 options above (Australian Dollars) what would be the preferred amount to pay for a piggy bank, whether or not you would physically buy them.

Sometimes it might be better to give The Studio's options rather than demands as this gives them more insight to what we're actually thinking rather than venting lol (just my humble thought :0))

Hello Channie!

I have the piggy bank and the scrolls to redeem. Only I don't. I have been playing the king games for many years and haven't spent a single penny on it. It is so important to me not to gamble to get into the debt trap. Once I started it it would be full and slide down very quickly. I know myself. So I ignore it. I would prefer to use the money to enjoy my summer vacation with my family. I saw now how quickly a life can end. I hope you understand it!! I always say: money is not everything and there are more important things than money.

G'Day @Spinnifix,

Yes chickie it is so true that family is important and yes that's been brought home to us recently :0)

It's true that a lot of players don't spend money in the games and that is totally okay!

Sometimes I will buy a Piggy Bank, occasionally, if I've been on a particularly hard level for quiet some time, so when I've been reading members comments about how frustrating the price of them can be, it got me thinking lol 🤣🤣

Rather than adding to some of these comments, in a few forums, why not just ask the simple questions of what is reasonable for a player who does buy Piggy Banks, to pay for them. Venting is okay but why not seek a solution by getting opinions from everyone instead?

So whether or not members buy a Piggy Bank, a vote on what you think is a reasonable price, is helpful for those who do lol Why just vent at The Studios when I can provide them legit feedback and put forward a suggestion that may actually get a response?

@Diamond Lim any chance I could get a tag on this please now that I've explained the purpose a bit chickie? I feel it is important and would go a long way in providing encouragement and add to the "team" atmosphere? Yes it's in The Hub rather than 1 specific Community but I think it's a topic that relates to all games :0)
