Exactly, we get a lot of free or close to free content. Iâm onboard with having access to the event, all that other stuff AND a cool skin Iâll actually use unlike the ok-ish BlizzCon skins my before.
Edit: They gave us like 200 free tokens for OWL skins, they put up new characters fairly regularly, new maps regularly, new game modes for events, they make balance passes (whether good or not is a different argument), they put up free holiday and events which includes stories and skins, they release videos about the characters⊠seriously, get over it.
Iâm still disappointed I didnât get the Blizzcon Bastion skin, Winstonâs was alright. I really like Sombraâs, but I feel like the Blue and White theme was cooler.
Can we stop pretending that this skin being bundled in is somehow good? I donât care about Blizzcon, I donât care about the Overwatch league, but if I want that skin, I have to fork over money to get a bunch of crap I donât care about, and the only way to get that skin ever is by paying for a ticket to some event that I never cared about. You canât get the old skins, you wonât be able to get the old skins, itâs been three years and the preorder Widowmaker skin hasnât been made public, so they wonât make you able to get this video game content unless you pay them $49.99.
What makes it worse is that with one look, you can clearly see it is something that SHOULD be holloween content, but no, I guess demon hunting is Blizzcon themed, somehow.
By adding it to the ticket, it adds value to the ticket and makes the skin more valuable. Also itâs not Halloween content, itâs based on a Diablo 3 character.
Also, the skin is a bonus to the ticket. You arenât buying the skin, youâre buying the ticket.
No, itâs a 40$ virtual Blizzcon ticket and you get a free skin if you buy it. Stop whining, you donât deserve everything, itâs perfectly fine to give people who want to support Blizz an exclusive skin.
So donât get it, simple. God this community is so entitled and whiny. I got a T-shirt when I flew to Amsterdam last month, how dare they charge me 400$ for a lousy T-shirt? Boycott Amsterdams tourism board.
For most players, the skin is much more appealing than the ticket itself and Blizzard knows that, this is the real problem here.
People defending this need to realise when you lock an item behind an exclusive, overpriced, bundled paywall, itâs no longer âjust a bonusâ when it is the ONLY way to attain that product.
The cosmetic items are bundled into access to Blizzconâs live-streams.
Donât care about Blizzardâs other titles or Blizzcon itself? Well, sucks for you then. In that case, you really donât deserve the Diablo-themed skin anyways.
Besides, itâs just aesthetics for a fundamentally broken and underpicked character.
so what youâre saying is they should take the $100 worth of stuff (the ticket plus 1 item for every game Blizz makes) and give it away for $10-$20 just because some people only play 1 game?
The skin is not the only thing you get for $50, your getting an item from all of Blizzards games, Diablo, StarCraft II, Overwatch, World of Warcraft, Hearthstone, and Heroes of the Storm. You also get full access to the live streams and shows for 2018, its basically a digital replacement for those who cant physically go to Blizzcon
The skin is an optional feature, and Blizzard has every right to sell it along with the Blizzcon tickets. Heck, they arenât even selling itâItâs a perk that comes along with everything else included!
Weâve gotten limited edition skins before (Winston and Bastion), so why is it such a problem now? Besides, the skin WILL be available in the months following Blizzcon, so players who were not able to participate will have a chance to purchase it.
To all of the people who are calling Blizzard greedy, that isnât the case. They are a legitimate company with employees, deadlines, and a schedule to keep. They have to make a profit in order to stay afloat and keep producing content! If youâre willing to buy the ticket and accept the perks that come with it, youâre basically supporting Blizzard as a company. Youâre helping them pay their hard-working employees and developers, youâre ensuring that new maps, heroes, and games will be created with your donation, and frankly, that seems like a sweet deal to me.
To those who donât want to purchase a virtual ticket, then donât! Itâs completely optional, doesnât affect game-play, and no one will give you a hard time about it. Simply donât pester others into âboycottingâ the ticket because YOU feel that it isnât fair. Itâs as easy as that.
I donât see anything unreasonable about that.
Why are you talking about $100 worth of stuff when even blizzard doesnât mark it up to that? not even half that.
Have you looked at what you actually get?
watch most of blizzcon from your home with specially dedicated cameras (neat)
$10 off a $60 goody bag⊠so youâre paying for a discount on an item that is traditionally a free gift ??? ) this is illogical for anyone that is not THE business themselves.
cosmetics across blizz games of which, the average player will only make use of 1 or 2.
the vod of last years blizzcon that you can just watch for free on youtube anyway, just like you will be able to watch the entirety blizzcon 2018 for free on YT the very day after it ends.
