PLEX vs Subscription

CCP WANTS YOU TO PLAY "FREE"! ^{To those of you who think this is trolling in some way, it is not. Some people literally did not know this. That is why it's posted here.}

PLEX costs SOMEONE $19.95, this is the only way to get PLEX into the game. One PLEX gives you 30 days of game time.

Subscriptions for 1 month at a time cost $14.95. This also gives you 30 days of game time.

Subscription for 3 months is $38.85. 3 PLEX costs someone... (1 at a time: $59.85) [6 PLEX divided by 2: $52.49] {28 PLEX divided by 9.33~ : $52.49}

Subscription for 6 months is $71.70. 6 PLEX costs someone.... (1 at a time: $119.70) [6 PLEX package: $104.97] {28 PLEX divided by 4.66~ : $104.97}

Subscription for 1 year is $131.40. 12 PLEX costs someone..... (1 at a time: $239.40) [12 PLEX package: $209.94] {28 PLEX divided by 2.33~ : $209.94}

PLEX costs $19.95 each. 28 individually bought PLEX is $558.6. Buying 28 PLEX, each PLEX's value is $17.495.

Best PLEX value is $17.50, Subscription 1 month $14.95. Best subscription monthly value is $10.95.

Now. If you thought PLEX was free, you are dead wrong. It ends up costing a lot more for the people who buy it. But at least you yourself get to play free. So CCP wants more players to play for free. They make more money this way!
