How greedy can overwatch get?

Right the unfair one is the one you personally don’t like. Also you don’t need to buy the ticket to get the skin, just fyi before you do something embarrassing like compare this to the civil rights movement or something

102

If you mained Sombra, and didn’t care about the rest of the ticket, I can guarantee you would feel differently.

Have you heard of something called money.

It’s like fertilizer, it makes stuff grow…

Regardless if you as an individual care or use certain parts of a product does not adjust it’s price. If you are buying everything you should pay for everything, it doesn’t matter if certain parts of the product are exclusive to the bundle. If the skin is the only thing you care about it still comes with everything else.

If you only care and will use the skin then I recommend not buying the virtual ticket. Only buy it if you think you will get out of it what you invested in it.

Probably not super difficult, but Blizzard likely wants to keep it exclusive for people who buy the virtual ticket.

I do main Sombra, actually (nearly a 1-trick on her) and I don’t care about the rest of the ticket.

106

It was an example, is that the onlything you care about? I regret it ok? I made an example, you don’t like it, how about talking about my actual points instead of saying my example was out of proportion, it was, I thought it would make it easy to understand, you obviously don’t understand, I’m sorry.

107

your definition of fair is entitled and skewed towards your desires or the desires of others that your chosing to speak for because they don’t have a voice of their own? or something like that?

108

And you’re claiming I was the one with too much investment in this fight, I see why you want it to remain exclusive.

109

I never said I don’t like it, it’s the funniest thing I’ve read all day, group chat got a kick out of it. And believe me your train of thought isn’t hard at all to follow, I just think it’s a ridiculous over exaggeration.

110

I have no plans to purchase it.

Entitled is subjective, your treatment of me is not, stop being rude, make an argument that doesn’t involve insulting me please.

I think Vulmaxi summed this up better than I could

lol, that disclaimer at the bottom, going to be a lot of angry people. Guess Blizzard realized it was a dirty ploy and corrected it. Can’t be angry with them than, good on you Blizzard! :+1:

Thanks for bringing that to Light DrClan.

But they only packaged it in order to milk more money out of the consumer by force-selling them things they don’t need just to get some milk. They know damn well what they’re doing, it very much is their fault, and feigning ignorance like you’re doing doesn’t help their cause. They know what their customers want - marketing people are paid very well to tell them this - and by bundling what consumers don’t want with what they do just to extract more money out of them is dishonest business.

In this case, however, just as with the Lúcio emote, Blizzard realize they’ve been caught with their hand in the cookie jar and will be offering the skin early next year for direct sale. Problem solved.

Except blizzard isn’t selling a skin for $40. They’re selling a virtual ticket to watch all their panels and events.

117

$50 ? It’s almost like as if I’m paying for a new game :thinking:

You said yourself that you don’t want this item but are speaking for others who actually want it. I want this item, I want it bad. But not bad enough to support blizzcon.

Your assertions on those who want it but are unwilling to pay the price is wrong. I don’t pretend to speak for others and sure as heck don’t enjoy others pretending to speak for me.

119

But you get all this stuff you never asked for!

Those people have decided that they value that skin at that level. You decide for yourself what it’s worth to you… and that seems to have been less than 5 dollars.
A good business decision brings in more money. You would have bought one skin at, lets be generous, 3 dollars. They sell 1, count em 1, virtual ticket and they’ve already made more than 16 times that. Not to mention most of the people buying the virtual ticket are benefiting far more than that one skin. Many people play multiple games and some will pay even MORE for the goodie bag. … sounds like a good business decision to me. Pleasing people from multiple games they publish and encouraging spending even MORE money and drumming up interest in games you might not even play cause … hey… maybe you’ll play one of the other games cause you have a thing for it you’ve unlocked.
