"In addition, we will be making adjustments to our Elite subscription program and present it to everyone in a brand new format. So please look forward to it!"
I might only be at the first level of cultivation for my BS detection but even I can spot the BS on this. You found out that all your whales went to the subscription method and realized you were not making as much money. If you were really just going to change the subscription program you would have left it as it was till the new on came out.
Not that you will listen to my dislike for this Trump level crap. I will just speak with my wallet. I used to spend $50us a month then the subscription fee and was enjoying this. Now in the words of Willy Wonka "so you get... NOTHING!!! YOU LOSE!! GOOD DAY, SIR!!!"
