Purchasing power and rising video game prices: is subscription sharing the right way to cut costs?
A Christmas marked by inflation: the French are looking for solutions
Against a backdrop of soaring energy costs and a general rise in prices (+5.8% in one year), the French are preparing for a complicated Christmas shopping season!
This year, inflation has spread to many sectors, including video games, where prices have jumped by an average of 44%. [1]. And with good reason: the sector has been hit hard by component shortages and soaring energy and logistics costs.
Video game subscriptions also affected
In the same sector, subscription prices are also set to rise in the coming months. Online gaming and media services Playstation Plus and Xbox Game Pass have recently expressed their intention to raise prices on their respective platforms. [2].
These price increases are putting an ever-increasing strain on French people's wallets, but they're not about to give up on treating their loved ones.
Spliiit: a low-cost solution for gamers
It's a Cornelian dilemma, but there's a solution: Spliiit!
Founded in 2019, Spliiit is a platform that connects subscription owners with others wishing to benefit from the service. The subscription owner and co-subscribers can thus share the same account and therefore the fees, to take advantage of a lower-cost service.
"Many gamers have different video game subscriptions. The cost of these subscriptions, plus the cost of consoles and accessories, is adding to the gamer's budget. With Spliiit, we enable our users to split the monthly costs of these subscriptions, so they can take advantage of the best offers for less," explains Guillaume Lochard, co-founder of Spliiit.
Spliiit, how it works ?
Once registered, users can offer one of their subscriptions, or subscribe to a co-subscription service. For the subscription holder, there's no need to chase after co-subscribers: each month, they pay their share directly on the platform. Everything is perfectly legal and secure. The start-up scrupulously respects the publishers' CGU and is accredited by the French banking regulator (ACPR). New subscribers will see their fees divided by 3 or 4 for their new subscription, unlike the rates offered by the various platforms. In fact, Spliiit saves users an average of 200 euros per year.
Spliiit today offers platforms such as: Netflix, Amazon prime, Apple Music, Nintendo Switch, Duolingo, Office 365, Spotify, Le Figaro ...
