The campaign is over… its served the purpose it was used for. Its fair game IMO. Who is it hurting. If they want to do another then go for it with something new.
That’s true. But now people KNOW that these kind of pets will be available for free eventually, so with future promotions less people might be motivated to donate. Because let’s be real, a lot of people don’t buy these pets for the sake of donating but because they want the stuff in their collections.
So that’s a pretty dumb move.
I usually buy the item during the charity event. I don’t remember if I bought this one or not. Plus Make A Wish is on my standard charity list and they already receive funds periodically.
What I don’t care about is people getting the item for free after the event has ended.
I understand what you’re saying but if that is the only motivation, then I don’t know think keeping people guessing is going to be beneficial long term.
However, from a social engineering aspect this is interesting. Do we really want our game companies to be the primary driver of charity?
Twitch drops and Trading Post are quite new concepts which both aren’t even a year old. I doubt we’ll have to wait 4 years to see more stuff like that considering how often Twitch and Prime promotions occur and the Trading Post also has a new sortiment every month.
