Good day guys,

Not trying to break any rules so I will not give self promotion details. Serious question - We are developing a Fitness based VR game. A proper one with real goal setting mechanics, huge gamification, the whole 9 yards. I would like to know whether you prefer to buy a game outright or rather have a F2P with in-game purchase and/or monthly subscription.

Side note: I see most games in this genre go for about $25-$30, so we would be the same it we go that route, otherwise I was thinking F2P with a $10/month sub for additional content.

If I am breaking any rules here, I apologize, I am trying to stay within the rules by purely asking the question. For me to ensure I build something the community really wants, I need to first know what they want.

Thank you all in advance for any feedback.

slmiami: I much prefer paid outright. However, as having formally been in the software business I understand how a subscription model leads to a healthy revenue stream and allows for continuous development and improvement of a product. My favorite fitness app is Les Mills; they have done a great job with the base product and continue to release new workouts and features which is amazing! I also find the recent lower subscription pricing for Supernatural to be worthwhile and it offers me a ton of variety with a constant stream of new workouts and great music. So the subscription model with great value can work for me too.

Doepie308: Supernatural is the one game I have not been able to properly check out. Not available in our region for some reason. I am in Dubai. But yes, granted Les Mills is my pick as best of what is available

slmiami: Supernatural is a big player so I suggest you watch some YouTube videos to get an understanding of it. It is a high quality app with a constant release of new workouts and licensed music from familiar artists.
