Nay. Battlenet bux are not real currency so can’t be exchanged for currency or real life goods. They are only good on the website for certainly digital products or services.
The Balance is not considered real money by banks or law and does not accrue interest, or anything else. It can not be converted back to real money.
I would much rather that line between real world and game website stay there. The whole “digital money” to real world money barrier is a legal mess and very very prone to fraud, scams, etc. Our WoW gold has no real world value nor should it.
If we are starting so low, I think Pizza Hut is slightly better than Domino’s.
Round Table Pizza is a place I love, it’s a bit better than the other two, but they are on the other side of town, and I don’t go near them as much as I’d like.
I imagine the idea would be akin to, let’s say Microsoft bought Pizza Hut, and Microsoft expanded the BNET Balance to other companies, or even made it possible to convert it to a Microsoft currency.
It would be a gold sink, and pad their other businesses, but it seems to move the money out of Blizzards hands into other subsidiaries. Because instead of using that BNET balance on Race changes, you would use it on pizza, but either way, Microsoft has the money already from the person who paid cash for the token.
I could see it being OK on a limited scale, like for pizza. Or beer.
The Papa John’s that I had near my last apartment was consistently good, I guess the quality depends on the location like with many fast food restaurants. Dominos is ok, but the crust is always dry and like cardboard and they skimp on toppings. I have two Papa Murphy’s near where I live, but I have not checked them out yet, a lot of people seem to like them, but it would have to be significantly less expensive than Papa John’s or Dominos and higher quality than a frozen pizza from the store to make it worth having to cook myself.
i’m glad WoW doesn’t have that because the novelty alone would make me do it once a week. that said, if they added the ability to order delivery in our player house from an actual NPC and itd come to our real-life house id giggle every time
