Yes, that. Exactly that. And I do not even blame for BVG to try to work on the 'look, this is how much you cost us, we need you to spend more' . I like that they throw all that stuff out in the open, it's interesting to know how much this game costs on average and they DO need to make money. But I will not take it from other players.

BVG would make tons of money if they re-released ALL of Z's stuff in a Zstore (as mentioned by Veronica) and then start a new economy going with rares, short releases, limited releases. The small amount of loud voices that cry about re-releases wouldn't matter to the amount of cash generated. There are so many silent people who don't visit the forums that would buy cash if they can finish some of the houses they couldn't because game play was impossible at times in the past 2 years. Some players couldn't even log in because of the game.

If they put out items I want to buy, I buy yocash. If they don't, I don't.

I assume everyone else who buys YC does the same.

I love that you stated this! When BVG started the Supporter Badges, a few people were acting like they were kings and queens, I'm glad that whole thing has finally died down a bit.

BVG will earn my money when they get it. Not one day before.

When they get what? New furniture? They've done a great job so far IMO. Just their customer service alone was enough off me to fork over more than I normally gave Zynga.

I'm referring to the day that I finally buy more yo cash, I will have spent what I already have. That means BVG found a way to get me to blow a huge pile. They will have earned my need for more.

You have a good point.
Of course between business owner and customer there is a clash of interest.
Business owners want to make as much cash as possible and customers spend as little as possible.
However if the product is great,customers will reach into their pockets to enjoy the product.
So both in the end are happy,but you are right,Yocash is spent because players like what's in game.

They wouldn't be in the financial predicament they are currently in if they hadn't drunk the save Yoville protestors kool-aid.

The protestors are responsible for the current situation as if they hadn't protested this situation would not have existed.

I totally get what you are saying. I am sorry but I am not going to buy yc to fund this game just b/c they saved it.... I will buy yc if i want something, and that's all.

Cute rant. Especially when you're holding a newly released yocash cat.

I agree with the OP! BVG is a business not a charity. I do and will continue to spend if I feel there is something worth spending on. I also am one who compares my yospending with going to the movies or buying a fancy coffee. I don't feel bad about that comparison cause I use it in defense of those who belittle yocash buyers. See it goes both ways... If you buy your told your wasting your money on "fake pixels" and if you're not buying then you're told you are not supporting the game. :lol:

kind of a darned if you do, darned if you don't thing.

I just do what I want and try to let people think what they want. However a little venting every now and then never hurt anyone. :mrgreen:

Actually I agree. I am here waiting to plunge more into our new world.... Just want to play and pay how I like to do it. Hope you feel better after the vent.

I try to support this game as much as I can, but... I don't know what the rest of the world is like, but in my part of England the economic recession has hit us really hard with low wages and high unemployment rates. Once my mortgage and bills are paid and I have put food in my kitchen, then I think about YoCash and whether or not I can afford it - but only then!

Over the years I have had times when I could afford it and times when I couldn't and times near the end with that Z company where I just chose to not support their total lack of respect for their customers...every one has their reasons for buying or not buying. I don't look down on anyone who can't afford to buy YoCash as I have been there, but on the same token, I like to have the same respect given to me when I choose the price I will sell my YoCash items for with the amounts I occasionally set aside for selling in order to make coins...or for times when I can only afford enough to buy my own items and choose not to sell....it is a two-way street.

Her rant is she was sucked into buy yocash, not because of rants to buy yocash.

Guess I really have not noticed any threads to buy yocash to pay for BVG's bills, but sorry these offend you. I get the feeling to much time spent on these forums is causing many upset people.
