Debunking The "But It Isn't a 30$ Emote!" Argument

This hot take didn’t work in your own thread so I don’t know why you would pretend that it’s indicative of anything.

Blizzard have been doing charity events like pink Mercy for years.

I have no thread on this, but okay.

how does it tie into his lore? how does a floating dj table have anything to do with his lore? this is bs.

they never said the OWL pass exclusives would be tied to OWL. They said in game exclusives that’s it.

that’s your problem? again its not just the emote you get. and if you already had the pass this is just an addition to the many benefits we already had. Sorry but only wanting one part of the $30 pass doesn’t mean that’s the only thing it has.

How about blizzard slap an OWL logo on the front of his table so we can say its related to OWL?

People would still want it and still be upset. its not because its not tied to OWL, its because its something you want.

actually, its pro consumer. they sold a bill of goods to people to buy the passes. they are making good on that to those people.

Are…are you serious? You know Lucio in lore is a DJ right?

this is just stupid. there have been tons of charity items in WOW. the company has always done charity vanity items. always.

except it’s not a “boost sales” tactic, it’s a “thank you for supporting OWL” tactic. It’s the same thing they did with the redheaded Widow skin (I never remember what it’s called) you had to play Starcraft during the anniversary event, and that’s a $40 game (assuming you’ve already used the free trial). You call it a $30 emote, but as a fan of OWL, I call it a free emote. It also comes with 13 skins for different characters. Also, if you don’t want the whole package, there’s a simple answer to your problem. DON’T BUY IT!

Yes sure, while adding something that is base game related in there which serves as a slap in the face to everyone else. People have been asking for lore related stuff, Lucio being a DJ getting a turn table emote definitely counts, but blizzard turns around and does this with it. Whats next then?

where they ridiculously overpriced, too?

How does he pulling a DJ box out of his butt relates to lore? At all?

You’re acting that this is some crap that’s sealed forever behind when all it takes is someone with a youtube recorder to record it and pop it on youtube so people can see it.

Yes I do, but that’s not everything about Lucio. to say an emote that has him DJing ties to his lore is to say that Zaryas Christmas gift emote ties to her lore because she smashes a toy robot in it.

15-25 depending on the item. mounts and pets mostly.

If it was a “thank you for supporting OWL” tactic they would have given that AFTER it was finished being on sale or having been able to buy it with tokens. Then again people would be mad that they didn’t get something awesome but there would be nothing they could do. As they are doing it, it makes it seem like a way to squeeze out a bit more money before it isn’t on sale anymore.

Sweet heavens. Ok then. We were apparently screwed from the get go, it seems.

Looks like it’s only downhill from here on out.

you know the money goes to charity, right?

He thinks Blizz is using it to take money in or evade taxes or something.

That’s a stupid argument. Reason being you have the choice to go to other stores for a banana. We don’t have a choice to buy the emote anywhere else at a reasonable price

From day one they said: You get “blahblah” now, with more to come at later dates.
Or something along those lines, and we have had two additional stuff added, the 12 away skins and now the emote. They said from the start they would add more later…

Honestly I can’t waste my time reasoning with you. You want to support shady business practices in gaming go right on ahead, that’s how we ended up with destiny, battlefront 2 and all the garbage in between. I don’t want that happening to OW because I actually care about this game, clearly you don’t. Clearly too many of you don’t and that is exactly what the suits are counting on.

if something is only available in a bundle that doesn’t mean you only get it in a bundle, how about they put it in game for $10 so everyone can get it and its free for those who hold the pass?

Youd still be upset.

Just admit youre upset because you only want one part, but don’t want to buy it.
