Mover-NeRo Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Rant. So I log in and a mail pop up: Looks like free sfuff , no mention of anything required. But guess what, Prime gaming required. I dont have Prime gaming, I dont want it and I dont need it. But "you can try Prime for free".... Same with some loans and pay from second month. Just marketing. If you have to send us mails like this at least put the Prime Gaming info in it. Since today I am not clicking on anything from Darvo and will delete the mails the second I see them. Wish I could set filters on mails like in real life. /Rant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tesseract7777 Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 I understand your frustration. I think at the very least it should be worded better. But at this point this is probably only going to be feedback for the very future, keep that in mind. Probably the current cycle of Amazon Prime Gaming Rewards includes a contract for DE to advertise in a very specific way. In the future, I would like to see it better explained to people in the message though. I know A LOT of people have Amazon Prime, and a free trial can be easy to get and cancel, but it makes it sound like it is truly free, and there is nothing free about something only being yours if you have a paid membership for something outside the game, that isn't explained in the message. For a F2P game to advertise this way feels a little awkward to me and I don't like it, and I'm someone who regularly has Amazon Prime and just gets this stuff as a side effect, so I'm not an unhappy customer here, but I can see how some people would get quite frustrated. I believe for some countries Amazon Prime Gaming Rewards aren't even available, I hope there is a filter in the system that doesn't send these messages to those people...

(NSW)Greybones Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Does... Darvo normally speak in the third person? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(XBOX)C11H22O11 Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 They should just stop with these to avoid folks getting confused and put the announcement in the market and the news tab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(NSW)Greybones Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Just now, GrayArchon said: I can't find any other instance of him doing so. Hrm. I've got one other mail where he says "Clem and I". There's only one logical explanation for this; Darvo's email has gotten hacked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it is because Darvo is embarrassed by the shameful way he is being used to sneakily advertise Amazon Prime Gaming, and is speaking in the 3rd person because he is disassociating?

(PSN)robotwars7 Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 remember back when Darvo was an actual character who appeared in early game quests and events, and kind of had potential to be a major character since he's the son of Frohd Bek, the chairman of the Corpus board*, yet he doesn't follow Corpus Ideology?. Pepperidge farm remembers. *I know there's a 99.9% chance he was killed in the destruction of his ship during the Ambulas fight, but neither DE nor any in-game characters have confirmed his "death" either way.

Pepperidge Farm isn't going to keep it to Pepperidge Farms' self free of charge though... Maybe you buy some of these distinctive Milano Cookies, maybe of all this just goes away...

HeartPurity Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 And also it will take you 100 clicks later to find out how to unsubscribe it from monthly autopay. SCARY 🦙 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)thowed Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 I have prime for ordering stuff and I watch stuff on the video part. I claim these cosmetics because I already have it but if they're gonna advertise prime gaming then they need to step it up. There's hardly anything on there. Rewards for maybe 20 games, many which are niche, that takes forever to get new stuff. They shouldn't be advertising the gaming part to get people to subscribe to the service lol.

elmetnuter Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 They simply should not send that email to people that don't have an Amazon Prime sub in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xcrimsonlegendx Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Yeah its pretty shady that it just says "free stuff" to get you to click on it with no mention of a paid subscription to another service not even related to Warframe as a base requirement.
