Feh Pass has officially launched and from the looks of it, it’s going to be here to stay. On reddit, now, there are more people accepting the pass than opposing it. I’m actually not surprised on how it turned out on reddit. Based on any of the previous surveys, I know that at reddit, there are a lot more people who pay to play Fire Emblem Heroes game than the F2P. The latest survey on reddit indicated more than 2:1 ratio of paying customers than the non-paying customers.

Before we look at how Feh Pass compares to other subscriptions, let’s compare Feh Pass to other deals in the game itself.

Today marks the 3rd anniversary for the Fire Emblem Heroes mobile game. It’s supposed to be a celebration. Most companies typically aim to please the customers and fans of their games and make sure that there’s no backlash. It’s very unfortunate that Intelligent System never learned from their past mistakes and they make another mistake again this time around.

Take a look at Fire Emblem Heroes video on YouTube. There’re more than 2:1 dislike to like ratio. About 70% of viewer dislike the announcement of the 3rd celebration. Why is that? It’s all because of the announcement of the new subscription – FEH pass.

This announcement overshadows all other things that they announced. People are not talking about any gifts from the 3rd anniversary announcements, but complained about the upcoming FEH pass. If you look at Fire Emblem Heroes sub on reddit, you’ll know what I’m talking about. The subreddit exploded with anger, disappointment, etc. It’s all due to the FEH pass.

Even though all game modes in Fire Emblem Heroes is played against AI, this game can be very competitive. Players are ranked against another. Score between players are really tight at the top. A difference of 1 or 2 points may translate to hundreds of ranks between those numbers.

As an example, in tier 21 arena, a player with 3,820 score may have rank of 1,000, that result in staying in tier 21 and get the highest rewards. Another player with a score of 3,818 may have a rank of 1,250, that result in dropping to tier 20 and get a lesser rewards.

Since we know how the ranking system works in Fire Emblem Heroes, actually players can benefit more if players cooperate with each other. By cooperating, more players can be in higher tier and get more rewards.

However, Intelligent System has created a perfect Prisoner’s Dilemma situation in Fire Emblem Heroes. It is impossible to cooperate with other players.

Let’s evaluate.
