Dragsolais Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 I didn’t think anything was wrong with the pack tbh. Considering the 25 dollar skins of diablo4 these are much better. But I understand the backlash since kids can’t buy much in this economy. I already bought the zenith pack when it came out so I’m happy for the extra platinum ty DE keep up the good work. Love all the devs that work in DE and your work! Some people can call me shill but DE is a name I feel like I can trust. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The next heirloom pack they'll probably break down a little better, possibly letting us purchasing them with Regal Aya. Oh no, they have plenty to apologize for PLETNY. 45 minutes ago, Haleks said: 56 pages later, close to 1500 posts of outrage, and still no proper solution to this debacle.

Being able to afford the bundle is not the goddamn issue, and if you had any standards you'd be able to see that. Nah I'm not spoiled and you're the one that's lacking principles. Why not leave as be? Why can't people support there favorite devs? Why are you mad that people are purchasing this to support devs or just want unique new cosmetics? Don't be a gatekeeper. If you don't want to buy or can't afford it that's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best thing about this thread is that because the Heirloom collection is such a hot controversial topic, moderators do not dare to moderate, nor lock this topic, which is hilarious, because the amount of insults in here would not be tolerated otherwise for more than 5 minutes. I feel like we went back 10 years into the good old days of internet, where nobody was emotionally weak and we could insult each other in COD: MW1 lobby all day long. Ah.. that was the time...

The game industry is in a deplorable state - that's not an excuse for DE to engage in the same practices. One of the reasons we've loved DE and stuck with them despite their often ... questionable ... design decisions is because they have the most fair model of a game out there. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragsolais Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 I don’t understand any of you who cry like a baby. they are just selling skins… SKINS FFS nothing else you don’t have to buy it. Since you can earn plat in game you literally don’t have to pay anything to get all those skins… at least pay a little to support DE a company doesnt get money when you play their game like everything in the real world IT RUNS ON MONEY the devs have families they have to feed. Diablo is predatory, Overwatch 2 is predatory. DEmaking two limited time skins WOOOOW such a bad company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waeleto Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 I don't understand how anyone can say Fomo is good or justified because you have 4 months to buy when in reality it punished new players more than anyone else, think about all the future frost/mag mains who'll start the game in the following year and won't get these skins because a company felt the sudden urge to be greedy, think of all the people who didn't even HEAR about warframe in 2013 who'd have gladly bought the founders pack 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diablo is predatory, Overwatch 2 is predatory. DEmaking two limited time skins WOOOOW such a bad company. You apply your personnal vision to all the community, that's great for you, you farm your thing and trade it for platinum, now that platinum hasn't magically appeared, it has to be bought by someone, the platinum you start with(if that is still a thing) cannot be traded which means that every single plats that is traded and tradeable costed someone real money. A company gets money from its communities, communities that need people to stay active and investing money so by playing even if you don't pay you keep the community alive, now not 100% of a community will spent real money but the larger the community, the higher the potential buyer. And the point you have risen doesn't apply here, Warframe is a successful game that makes a profit, they have multiple way to earn money beside the heirloom bundle, it's not like they were on life support moneywise all these past years. Releasing this to celebrate 10 years of warframe is like a big slap on the face, excluding most of the players regardless of the time they contributed to the games. We cry not because of them making two limited skins, but because the timing the pricing and the practice is not what we love Warframe for.

If they can't accuse you for only not liking it because you can't afford it, they'll just say 'devs need to make money you're selfish' (they say about a 10 year old game that has obviously not needed to do these kinds of practices to make money and stay profitable).

They're following the model other companies have done - keep trying to push the envelope of what's acceptable in the community, pull back when there's backlash, but not to zero. Then after some time start pushing again, and shift the overton window of what's acceptable monetization more and more. 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIREEK Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 I think users should simply decide on their own if they want or not to support any of the tiers available and voice their concerns about the bundles, let's not devolve this into harassing users that buy the bundles or calling users poor/broke if they don't buy, stick to your own game and respect other players, let users have their own fun, with or without the skins. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree yet there are people who buy the most expensive Prime Access pack in the first second it gets released. I know it's not related but still that's incredibly expensive, and it also has filler content like platinum and the 90 day boosters. Also you can say that the prime access is also FOMO because once it changes you wont be able to get the prime accessories/glyphs until, some day, in the far future, they get added to the prime resurgence, which is also time gated and there's the regal aya problem on top of that. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
