By the amount of times they reiterated “Watch your favorite streamer to receive a new skin” makes me think that the rest of the skins need to be purchased.
Blizzard, even you know how scummy you’re being. You won’t even announce other new skins for this event! I used to look forward to OW events. Now I’m forced to hold my wallet tightly around you.
Not sure how to respond to this… But, I’ll take the bait.
Here’s how people are paid:
A company makes profit
A company subtracts the expense from that profit (i.e., “net”)
A company determines how much to pay an employee based on (but not limited to):
Net profit
Expenses
In other words, the revenue coming in from the store is used to pay employees (i.e., via revenue the company makes).
Employees with tenure beyond the “production” phase need to be paid with something and that “thing” is revenue (i.e., the store + other stuff).
I don’t do it at all. Not giving them any money by having them run ads during those AFK hours. It’s all a scam for Blizzard to get free advertising for their game and make rich streamers even richer in the process.
Ultimately yes, the success of the shop will eventually translate to wages, but even if the shop fails, Blizzard couldn’t get away with not paying its employees, especially after the work is done.
Exactly right. It’s what “layoffs” are for. Without revenue, there is no money left for a workforce. Therefore, the workforce is let go. If the shop does not produce enough revenue to keep people employed, they will be fired. It’s a fact of business.
It’d be cool if you could unlock all the old skins in some way for the halloween event and make the new stuff cash shop. Then next year, be able to purchase this year’s new stuff with ow coins next year and the year after, make this year’s skins earnable by just playing the event.
tbh the junkerqueen skin looks so ugly i would not even call it a skin but a big shame. idk what they are even doing here with that hero. completely disaster.
but i agree in general with you… i expected like 100 new skins to milk the playerbase… but i guess i have been very naive, they didnt even make any efforts with the skins.
