As promised.....Pricing

Here is your pricing for License Providers for Americas Army games.

You have your regular providers which have a start rate of $1000/year.

Your game rate for AA2 is:

• 5-19 Instances($22.00 each/month).
• 20-99 Instances($20.00 each/month).
• 100+ Instances ($19.00 each/month).

Your game rate for AA3 is:

• 5-19 Instances($27.00 each/month).
• 20-99 Instances($25.00 each/month).
• 100+ Instances($24.00 each/month).
  

1. This gives you a provider license. With this rate, your AA2 per Game Instance price is 5-19($22.00 each). So what that means is if a provider has a license to host 15 AA2 games, he has a monthly cost of $330/month. Plus you add the $1000/year fee. Which turns into $414/month, just to have to ability to sell 15 AA2 games.

2. If a provider has 15 AA2 licenses, and 20 AA3 licenses he is billed from Pragmatic Solutions $830/month and if you add the $1000/year they equates to $914/month.

3. What does that mean for you. We if you use example #1 and you as a player rent a single AA2 server @ $3.49/slot and you rent 26 slots, your monthly fee is $90.74, and if you take that providers per instance cost from his total he pays Pragmatic Solutions $27.60 for that Game server you rented. So that provider made $63.14 off of that sell per month. Now that's not such a big deal, but if you fiqure that SAME provider will rent you a non-honor server for $.99/slot which is $25.74.

So why is this important? It is important because pragmatic specifically states that to change to a per-slot fee to make it more fair for a 10 slot server vs. a 26 slot server, they would charge so much per slot for the license that is saves US more money but charging per instance. This simply is NOT true. Pragmatic insists that they HAVE to make as much money as possible, and they don't care what it does to the loyal AA community because after all its a FREE GAME right?
