Bug Description

In Software Center, Vendetta-Online there is no mention in the text that the game is a commercial subscription title with a monthly fee of $7-$10 after the initial 8 hour free trial.

This has caused a number of people joining the game to feel that were misled.

Hi John, I've assigned this one for you to please take a look at. It seems we simply need to add the necessary details to the description for this game so that people realize that it is a free trial with a paid subscription model after the trial period is complete.

Thanks!

As a Vendetta player, I would be happy to review the text of the Software Centre entry and suggest new wording of this helps.

Hi Paul! Thanks for your offer! Certainly you are welcome to suggest changes to the wording and it would be very much appreciated. Ultimately, it will be the game's developer who will make the final decision, but any information contained in this bug will be forwarded to them.

Thanks! Best regards,
Gary
