This was before they lowered the price for elders. But it seems to me, it still costs more to perma-pet than it does to go from box to elder.
I look at it this way: it costs, on average, a two weeks of food (two parents, one week) to obtain a license to produce a NEW copy of the digital asset, yet it costs many, many times that much to convert a license for an existing copy from a recurring expense to a fixed expense, even when the portion of the license for that existing copy allowing the creation copies has reached its time limit and expired.
Sure, this is legal. But it's counter-intuitive.
Basically, it's saying "Thank you for paying to purchase or create the copy you have, and thank you for paying to create new copies from it, but there is an additional fee if you want to actually keep that copy now that you no longer can create additional copies from. We would much prefer you to delete that older copy and will give you a trivial store credit if you do so."
Wow that's an interesting way to look at it! Very insightful.
I'd love auto permapetting, even if it was something like 200 days (without being sick) or even a year.
I WANT TO KEEP ALL THE KITTIES!
