Not sure how many people will have seen this, but an interesting post by Karl Oliver-Kyriacou, the Director of Sales at Wargames Atlantic in regards to pricing in 2022.

‘Globally the price of fuel has skyrocketed, which in this business means there has been an increase to the cost of raw materials (namely the plastic – which is up over 60% per pound!) Because of this, the production cost of a typical box has now increased by roughly $0.12.

After much consulting internally at Wargames Atlantic, we just didn’t feel right in passing this additional cost on to you, the valued consumer. So with that decision made, I am pleased to say that our ranges will remain the price you know and love for the foreseeable future.’

I think it’s a fantastic thing they’ve done but being able to contextualise it with some figures has really given me pause for thought… Interested to see what the community thinks!

I for one am happy to read that at least one company is not quick to pass on costs or take advantage of increases and jack the price even higher.  (am I really the only person to wonder if companies are using these times to gouge a little)

 

Don’t get me wrong.  I know that prices of fuel and transportation are going up.  I also don’t want any of the companies I support to close up during these times.  So I know that some prices have to rise.  But some companies have a hefty margin already.  So not everyone needs to raise their prices.  But, alas, most will.

 

The slippery slope is coming.  If prices go up too much then folks will back off of their planned purchases and do without for a while.  This will cause companies even more problems.

 

But, what do I know.  I’m just a gamer after all!  ???️
