I had a similar thread before they allowed content creators to make videos about the S10 BP (you can see them now on youtube). But now it’s confirmed, no legendary skin for Venture in S10 BP. Past OW2 heroes always had a legendary skin included in the BP of their release.
Why couldn’t they just include the Venture Legendary instead of that Cassidy one?
you dont get your cake and eat it too
you get free chars available immediately, now there is no more ‘p2w’ nonsense
did you lose something to get that? yes
is this a business? yes
is this a non-profit? no
communism has no place in modern times
the world tried the communist approach, a generous estimate of those lost is 80 million
we dont need that again
Mauga didn’t even have Legendary skins to unlock for credits. We should of all seen this coming.
Don’t worry though, Space Ranger will probably have 20 shop skins.
U mean that human AU astronaut version of Twilight Sparkle? Yeah sure.
The Battle Pass still costs money…
I, for instance, will not be getting it BECAUSE I used my freemium currency on the Cosmic Horror pass.
Venture objectively needs a skin more than literally every hero in the game because they are launching with… Well, who knows how many. Less than Mauga.
Hey, they know cheap waifu heroes make the best money. She’ll have more Legendary skins than even Baptiste shortly. And the creeps will eat it up for sure. Just means the heroes that don’t pull as much money will just get less skins.
I suspect Venture might be another one of those characters that’s difficult to produce skins for and maintain their silhouette. Might be a while before the art team figures some out.
Yes thats probably whats gonna happen. They should all know, their new waifu is human version astronaut Twilight Sparkle.
they have internal metrics that will give them reasonably accurate guesses as to which skins will sell based on char.
mauga isnt that popular there the ROI would be low in comparison to chars such as genji or mercy
venture is too new, especially with the theme of the season it makes more sense (as people have a greater attachment to the older chars than one that was released for 3 days) to give skins to OW1 chars
this is a pure business decision
On social media, they revealed that Venture is going to get an ice cream skin, but it seems like an Epic.
Or maybe its a “lEgEndArY” like gingerbread Bastion, mime Moira or that Junkrat le sserafim skin.
I must’ve missed the day when my history class covered the time period where we had no money, social class, or state.
clearly you did. must be from the ‘murikant’ education system
Fair enough. Albeit, if their goal was strictly profit based on their skins, I feel as if they have been doing a piss poor job regardless.
I created this thread to talk about Venture not getting a legendary skin in the BP, and you know who started talking about communism for some reason.
?
Try and remember to take your medications today
its not just profit, its ROI (return on investment) which takes into consideration many factors, one of the key identifiers though will be break-even (# of units sold at X $)
profit comes from future potential, the initial costs to put out a products can be considered large expenditures, and may not see a profitable return for long periods after release (see all consoles lol), and managing the corresponding outlays while taking into consideration depreciation, interest, and tax
I just do not understand why refusing to release new skins for new heroes helps them.
I agree with this. Those heroes won’t gather as much cash for them simply cause they have no options on arrival. So then it’s excused as “nobody buys this skins” when they simply don’t get the same amount of options. But I guess someone has to suffer for Widow, Mercy, Kiriko, Moira, etc. to get a constant stream of skins.
