【PJSK】Absurd Pricing Update: Mini Monthly Pass Costs More Than Premium Pass!

During the livestream on the 27th, SEGA announced a major 'upgrade' to their mini monthly pass system.

It is well known that Japanese server players suffer from the '5-hour sleep' cycle, as the stamina cap is low and refills quickly. Players had long envied the Taiwan server’s mini pass, which offered an instant boost to 20-stamina capacity. However, the 'upgrade' brought a shocking price tag: the new mini passes cost 1,500 and 3,000 JPY respectively—far exceeding the 2,000 JPY price of the standard premium 'big' monthly pass.

The value proposition is considered 'pure loss' by the community. Players noted that besides the ridiculous pricing, some cumulative rewards seem to have been removed, pushing monthly spending up to a level that led players to mockingly call themselves 'fools' (二百五) for continuing to subscribe.

The community reaction was fierce. Players accused the management of participating in a 'who can be worse' competition (a common meme for poor game management), criticized the dated and bizarre design choices, and warned new players that the Japanese server offers 'second-class' treatment compared to other regions.
