- 1 Free mech bay with hero mechs. I know, its probably been considered, and it might be better for marketing reasons to add an extra mech bay purchase as a hidden cost, but keeping the hero mech lower to compensate.
What I've been thinking:
- Allow users to get the custom colors the hero mechs have for free!!! Once you buy the hero mech with the hot pink, have it available in the unlocked colors. You don't need to do it with all 3 colors, only the main, "iconic" one.
Why is this good for PGI?
Comparison:
Lowering prices:
Pro
- Same Value for Less MC, more incentive to buy for cost conscious, first time buyers. We are talking 30-50% less, as a bit cheaper is not going to change the deal for people who find it absurdly high, and if they really want the mech, they're not gonna fuss on 10-20%.
Con
- Existing owners wouldn't be happy, and would think twice about buying a new hero mech("what stops them from making it cheaper again a month from now?").
Adding Value as in Post:
Pro
- Both existing and future buyers will have bigger chance of getting hero mechs, they'd be happy about the free paints and would want to get even more. New buyers would also be able to factor in the additional benefits, and have an easier time convincing themselves to make that first jump.
Con
- Fewer sales of some color categories? On the flip side, I believe once you obtained a color, getting more for MC feels much more natural since you cant say you never bought a color, it came with the package. I'm pretty sure it wouldn't hinder sales, maybe even boost them as more catch on to coloring.
