Be Very Afraid - Pogo Is Updating Again Soon!

[FreecellFanny]

My two paid subsrciptions are just fine.

So are mine but if Pogo is going to give the unwashed masses some of the same benefits that we are paying $40 a year for why shouldn't we get a discount or something ultra-exclusive for free? 

[arniebear]

I read all that stuff too, and it made little sense other than Pogo trying to squeeze more bucks out of you.  If you are going to buy gems to play just buy a membership.  There is little difference.

Pogo gems for non-members: Pogo's way of getting money from people bad at math.

it appears to be a lame attempt by Pogo to draw more paying customers.  In theses times it might be better to work on holding what you got .

I think that's exactly it.  Peeps will like having mini items, etc. and won't want to lose them or will want to get more.  It will probably lure more into joining Club Pogo.

EA games is down in profit and the outlook is not much better for this year, they cannot keep up with changing market in games, so of course they will stick it to their club members to make up for their lagging game sales.........this translates to squeezing more out of Pogo.

If Pogo opens up Minis to non-club members they are going to have Club Members realizing they don't need to be in that exclusive club to get the perks.

The problem is that there will always be games that are unavailable to non-club members.  Pogo is getting tricky.

They are counting on our addiction to badges, to keep us paying for Club memberships.

Glad I'm not addicted. I just have a healthy insatiable obsession.

I've noticed they are a starting to put messages in the chatbox. There was an error when I was doing the pool challenge and it told me[in the chatbox] to disable my pop up blocker 

[Stinkerbell]

Yes, and getting that pogo.com update thingy in there too

[MsMissy]

Im not sure i quite understand pogo's logic, but to me it sounds like they are gonna let non-paying members buy Gems & have a mini also. Now i dont think its fair to us paying members. dont they get enough money from us now ? whats next, they gonna let them also play are games. gezzzzzzz

[Stinkerbell]

MsMissy, a company like Pogo can never be satisfied with enough money. They want MORE than enough money, they are a business, after all.

[Joe C]

Well, Pogo knows if it I can get a badge, I will buy it.

[BabyCheetah]

I still wait on sales for the M&M badges.  But, I do buy the premium ones as soon as they come out.

Pogo has a list of FAQ about the pogo.com people being allowed to play Club Pogo games and how it will increase our "fun". I swear they really believe their club members are dolts. Here is just one of the Q&A:

Question
Why are Pogo Minis and Club Pogo games now available to regular Pogo players?

Answer
We have received much feedback from Club Pogo members about how much they enjoy creating an online persona through Pogo Minis. Pogo Minis have really become a great way to express yourself, connect with other players and be involved in a passionate, tight-knit community.

Because of this positive feedback, we wanted to extend the joy of Pogo Minis to everyone, allowing existing Club Pogo members to share their Pogo Mini creations with a larger audience and connecting with even more players.

Interesting on their spin but really I do not like to "share" with anyone on anything. All of their questions were answered with a large dose of lithium and either 'warm and fuzzy' feeling or cheerleader zeal. So the truth is that they are not doing this for possible Revenue but to extend the joy.
