But blizzard locked a great looking skin behind a paywall. It wouldnāt be such a tragedy if the skin was of epic quality. Instead people want the skin. This means that blizzard either purposely did this to increase the sales of virtual tickets or they just gradually fuc$%& up.
Considering the all-star genji/tracer skins and the lucio emote drama it is safe to assume they just want to milk the money.
I just love how itās a problem now, lol. Man this community, NEVER ceases to amazeā¦
Well, how much did the books cost? They would have cost as much as a gun would in order to keep the store open.
Donāt forget that, on top of everything you listed, thereās also unlocks for other Blizzard games as well.
If you actually take everything into account, the 40 bucks is easily worth the value of the āpackageā. It isnāt Blizzardās fault if some people donāt want to utilize it to its fullest.
I appreciate the comment, but people arenāt complaining that Blizzard is breaking into their banks and taking their money. They are complaining that exclusive Overwatch items are being bundled with a non Overwatch product.
Oh yeah, itās not like the Blizzcon ticket allows you to see all the changes the devs plan on making in the near future for Overwatch.
Nah, letās just ignore that.
Thatās not important, right?
We all just want the skin!!1!1111!!!
I got a feeling this kind of whining has happened before.
Oh wait, the Lucioās emote.
You mean that one emote that came with exclusive skins, spray and player icon?
Yeah, letās just forget about literally everything else the All-Access pass gives to the people who bought it.
Player AMA? Nah, screw that.
No ads? Who needs it!
Most of the post I have read has the same reasoning that the lucio emote did. The skin or emote has nothing to do with blizzcon other than you get it buy buying a blizzcon ticket.
I see both sides:
On one hand you have blizzard is a business and want to make money, which they should otherwise servers go down and no one plays any of their games.
Then on the other if you look at past skins there is a theme to them and that is the blue and silver that incorporates the blizzcon logo into the skin.
My personal opinion is we are seeing the results of the teams being stretched too thin on other projects and content that was planned for other things are being used to fill spots in the rotation. Like this skin looks very much like a Halloween event skin, and the Lucio emote seemed like it was meant for summer games or anniversary. Will it increase sales? Maybe I mean the term āwhalesā exist for a reason some people have more money than sense and will purchase whatever they can.
Wow, you are good at describing the whines.
As for me, I got the All Access Pass, I got a bunch of skins, emotes and stuffs.
Worth.
But itās a blizzard game? Plus itās been this way for what 3 years now?? No one was complaining when they literally said it was a legendary item being in the bundle.
All the complaining started when they saw what it was.
The Lucio emote was non-OWL related but required the OWL pass to get it, thats why people were upset with it. The Sombra skin situation is different because its actually related to Blizzcon by being a Diablo 3 skin.
I would defend it if I could even buy one.
Yeah, like werenāt the other skins locked behind the Blizzcon event? (Winston and Bastion).
How is this any different?
Got a solution for you if ALL YOU WANT is the skin. Buy ticket, sell the rest of the digital goodies to other people. Recoup price of ticket. Iām betting that within months of the con the digital goodies will be worth far more than the original ticket price.
Good on you. Glad you appreciate the other content, and didnāt just go in for the damn Emote.
no.
many people said the same true thing that they say now.
Only if people only want to buy the gun. In this scenario thereās only a percentage of people who just want the gun - probably something like 20% is a generous estimate. The other 80% of Blizzards fans may not even play OW and want to buy the ticket for, yāknow, the event that the ticket is for???
I made this point!
Haha, the kiddies just said they want the Overwatch skin!!
Itās honestly driving me insane. I need help.
I mean, sure, if you want to use a ridiculous analogy such as that.
Doesnāt change the fact that giving bonus items to people who purchase a product isnāt a new occurrence. Whether it is to reward people who purchase the product or incentivize people into purchasing it or some other āhidden agendaā, who knows. You can believe whatever you want to believe, obviously. But you donāt have to look far to see that there are game companies that do far worse and put all new cosmetics (and some characters/abilities) behind paywalls.
