I guess fans are very forgiving in some cases, because this happening with anything else, they most likely are not.

Just like if you go to get your regular loaf of bread, and it's 10 cents more expensive, you understand everything goes up, so it's OK you still buy it, but if you find out is $1 more, and they tell you is because the store next door increased their price, because they put a new packaging, you are not happy, then they tell you you still can get 1/2 a loaf for the same price that before, then or you really love that bread and still buy it, or you laugh and you say no thanks, and buy other brand.

To keep fans paying more for the same, is not going to last for ever.
