Nice, I’d love to get my hands on a bunch of bear fat to make tallow with too (it makes a really creamy soap), but if you’ve already butchered I’m sure you got rid of most of it.
My uncle used to hunt and would give me a deer every year, have it butchered and packed up for me. It really helped make my food budget stretch (you know how poor I am) but since he died I haven’t had any because I can’t afford a hunting license (go figure).
Looks like the event was definitely a trick and not a treat
But some scammers could buy it to prop up the numbers.
Bobby billions could buy a million of those “packages” to convince players the product was well received. Can we please pin him for a financial audit just in-case? Let’s make sure the numbers they report aren’t internally fraudulent/botted.
I don’t see how that strategy would be effective
Not gonna lie, my first response to this post was “ain’t no way”.
I legit thought you were full of it and checked reddit…
Hoooly ****. 
That’s the sale price?
450k viewers on Twitch, yikes.
You’re all complicit in promoting this garbage fire.
What an absolute entitled trash comment. You know that income varies on the world right? We have the same pricing here in europe where in some countries 20$ is 5-10% of a monthly income. For many folks around the world these prices are not “high”, they are not affordable at all. There isnt even a discussion to pay that for some cr&p in a computer game.
Well duh. Doesn’t change anything I’ve said in this thread since the beginning. The skins are optional and don’t change the game. Please keep up.
I actually didnt think of this because i have decided to switch the battlepass system off in my brain.
That actually turbo sucks for people who buy the battle pass for whatever reason and are already down 10 US dollars. If the premium pass gave out credits then it would soften the blow. Imagine you are someone normal who has to budget their gaming expenditure.
Gross. Anyway, moving on.
What do you mean you people?
Exactly. A Battlepass should reward the person with playtime rewarding currency to help buy event items. That was the big drawing OW1 events was people grinding to get the skins they wanted. Ya it was a bummer if you didn’t get the one you wanted and did not have enough credits. But now who cares about the events anymore you don’t get anything worth grinding for anymore.
This is also literally sustainable because your playtime actually makes blizzard money on a macro scale through engagement reports and stock price. Blizzard can reward large amounts of engagement time with free digital items and not lose money in the process. The digital item already exists they are essentially just giving your account access to it through a permission switch.
This is what crafting systems are in most other industry standard games.
This would give a large value to the battle pass at the beginning of each season. If there are at least 2 events per season (2 month seasons) with the possibility of earning 5-7 new skins per event (10-14 in total not including battle pass skins) that would put the battle pass ( which I think $15 is fair) at a value of $200-$280. That is assuming each skin is worth roughly $20 in the store. But this would benefit everyone. New players who want a chance at the older skins and seasoned players who want to grind for new skins like was done in OW1.
Anyone in the comments defending this crap saying “its only 20!!! it has other things too!!” need to understand its 20 PER CHARACTER and even for old skins that have been out for years and were EARNABLE
then we have the BP being 10 bucks and gives you an astronomical amount of stuff. 20 bucks and above for one skin? yea, no thanks.
who prices this stuff?
Laughable.
It’s like they are desperately grasping at straws.
Last gouge attempt before m$ acquisition…See how that goes down too.
I wonder if they’ll clean up shop regarding the dev team once acquisition is complete.
do you really need help figuring this out?
People who have more money than they do brains for the most part.
I’m not going to tell people how to spend their money though, I waste money all the time on old games, but if people really are turning a blind eye to Blizzard’s predatory behavior, both physically/verbally to their employees, and micro-transaction practices to their consumers, then they are playing apart of the problem to be honest.
It’s weird how all companies suddenly value some cosmetics the same value you can get actual FULL working games and we’re not talking some poor indie game, we’re talking a year or two old AAA games. It’s insane. Makes you think, if they value just 1 skin this much, how much they value their whole functioning game at? $5000 ? Absurd.
