it was just on sale, now you’re giving it away like??
ok i guess i should just subscribe to prime and never buy another skin again since i’ll just get them for free there
my own fault, should never have bought a skin off scummy activision in the first place
lol stop crying over free stuff
From what you’re saying, you’re not even a Prime member, so if you wanted it for “free”, you would still have to pay for Prime.
So what’s the problem here?
Stop giving them money then. Problem solved.
It’s not like they deserve it, anyway, with the way things are going (still).
Tbf, you also are given the chance to get something for free that someone else might have paid 20 or part of a 40 usd pack.
To me, it’s not about about people getting stuff for free that stings, but rather how wild those initial prices on the skins are in first place.
I am a prime member.
Also, they literally had it the shop 2 weeks ago, now it’s free.
If you don’t see the issue with selling something you intend to give away as free then sorry I can’t help you
Well, at least you are cognizant of the takeaway.
do you cry for having paid €/$10 for such a tiny digital content and realize that it wasn’t worth it?
evidently YOU are the problem who gave them this chance to say “it’s a viable market”, like the people who go and buy the PORTING of RDR on ps4 at absurd prices from dayone. “let’s vote with our wallet”: YOU told them that it was a correct way to earn money for skins that will also one day become old enough to be spammed for free. Or heavy sales, as today for so much skins in anniversary.
what are you even talking about lol
You mean like they did with Overwatch the game?
Feels like you should’ve seen this coming. The precedent was set on October 4th, 2022.
It is your own choice to sink money into any item put on a market, by doing so you fully accept that at some point, it may become free through some extension. Warframe is very much like this; you can choose to pay $60-80 USD to get Prime variants of Warframes, gear, weapons, and cosmetics, or you can just grind for them individually, even further you can trade them for Plat which can be earned, but ultimately they might become free, fully made with a Reactor/Catalyst already installed by watching a Twitch stream or participating in an event.
But you know what? We never had this problem when everything was earned through lootboxes, so 
Okay…
By saying that, it sounds like you didn’t have it.
Regardless, you should know as a Prime member that games and items are given away that were at a cost as well - this time it just so happened to be something you bought. Totally expected with the service.
To quote Family Guy, “what did you learn?”
If you don’t want to feel like a sucker stop paying for cosmetics.
I paid zero for loot boxes and now for battle passes.
And I still get cosmetics for free.
This shouldn’t have to be explained to anyone.
It is stupid to overpay for a $0 value cosmetic.
A year ago this stuff was free. Why fools suddenly want to pay money is a mystery to me.
Plenty of games work this way. PSplus for example. Game comes out and it’s a full $70 and a year later it’s free. This isn’t that weird. Also let’s not hate the devs for the first time they do something like this please. It’s a good thing.
I can actually answer this: things seem more valuable when they cost more. That goes double for items that are already special in the first place. I learned this lesson when I was a kid, and I suddenly wanted to buy fruit after the staff at lunch started selling unique fruit in addition to the average fruit they gave away for free.
Don’t support companies that pull skins from there original game that were FREE… to then re-sell in a cash shop to those who never owned Overwatch.
Hey, at least you’re learning! Some people would still continue to buy things.
It’s not free as Prime costs money and skins are random. Idc, i bought Owl guard Mercy too. And whatever gets people skins I’m for it since lootboxes were removed and 60 credits per week is silly.
Lol wth people here has complete different perspective on this than on social media. It’s very very scummy sales technique to put something on sale to squeeze every penny they can take, before they give it for free. But then again, it’s Blizzard, and bold of us to expect a minimum level of decency from them.
Personally, I wish they would be more transparent with their sales strategies. They manage the store very bad and everything is always chaos and confusion, which of course can lead them to less profit, because not everything is FOMO.
I’m glad that it’s free more people get the chance to have it.
