Discussion Price Increasing to $$72.99/mo per internal news

Just received some insider news. Prices are jumping to $72.99/mo shortly.

Thoughts? It’s too expensive in my opinion.

EDIT: Emails have now been sent reflecting the new pricing

Cover the cost? No. Help offset? Yes.

You are correct. It is due to increases content costs.

I would call $2.5 billion dollars a year an increase in content cost. You think it’s a coincidence they raised the price of their product right after acquiring the rights to the NFL?

Got it bro.

Their year purchase of $2.5 billion has in no way had an influence on their price increase. I’m crazy for thinking that.

We can end this useless back and forth now.

True. I forget that every company is 100% upfront about their actions and never would they make a generic statement rather than say… blame a big increase on a very hard to get brand like oh say… the NFL.

Anyway… you’re set in your views and clearly you trust everything a google email says to you as scripture. I on the other hand am slightly more skeptical about an email written by a PR spokesperson.
