it's interesting to hear everyone's take on this subject...
"perma-petting" a breedable animal was something i believe we were the first to offer. we weighed different price points looking at different variables at that time.
we've also talked about different ways to offer the "perma pet" option, and really wanted it to be an option for those who didn't want to feed, breed worry, AND be able to keep a pet in inventory and just never have to worry WHILE having their "pet" able to get "updated" for ever with all the newest features we add, etc.
again thank you for your comments and my guess is we'll revisit this subject
keep your feedback coming!
much thanks
