Topic: Idea: an MMORPG for rich people

Meta started this discussion 9 years ago #65,345

It costs $1000 a month to subscribe. The idea is, when you join you can play only with other rich people and keep the riff-raff out. It's a Veblen good basically.

Better yet, the rich people are too busy and pay poor people to play the exclusive rich people game for them

In 2027, luxury won't be having the newest iPhone, it will be having a pleb following you around doing your iPhoning for you.

i think ff14 and wow are still subscription-based and about that much? but i think youre really overestimating how much money people have for MMOs in a month

But see that's the thing. It's for rich people only. Plebs and poorfags need not apply ???

You would need to make different versions for different prices. The people that can afford 10k a month do not want to associate with the 1k cunts.
