Runescape is jacking up their subscription prices next month, going from like 12 bucks to 14 bucks a month. The increases range from 20% to 56% in price depending on currency. Players are PISSED about it especially since the company got bought out by some investment firm earlier this year, and they see it as a shameless cash grab.
Here’s a mega thread about the price increase on Reddit. Overwhelmingly negative feedback on the price increase

So I decided to make a post on Reddit basically asking in a neutral way if it would deter people from playing… And I was met with the most hostile, toxic keyboard warriors basically telling me “maybe stop working at McDonalds and you can afford it” and defending the company for the price increase. After an hour, my post was removed, and I was banned for a year without any explanation.
I’m honestly in shock that I would get banned just for asking a question, like they are that angry about people talking about the price increase?
“Do your own research”, a line associated with the great and credible orators of the internet.
You were given enough information about something you said you don’t care about. I told you I don’t care to read any more comments from you, yet you persist. Weird.
There were no citations to back up relatively unknown claims besides digging through the comments of a reddit mega thread.
If that counts as making a good argument to anyone, I envy their free time, or worry for their information hygiene.
Do you fancy yourself royalty dismissing their subjects? Lol. At once, my liege, I will be gone from your sight. Toodles!
