Keleindor Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 12 minutes ago, Trichouette said: Wouldn't be such an issue if tennogen was purchasable with plats. Players are already paying for an ingame currency in order to buy cosmetics and on top of it they have to pay real money for some OTHER cosmetics (that are often way better than the ones purchasable with plats). Either you put all the prices as premium currency (platinum) or as real money, mixing both feels like a huge scam (and actually, it is, just look at the prices) especially when you look at the "real currency // premium currency" rate. 5 minutes ago, 4628Gin-san said: I thought the reason we don't use in-game currency for Tennogen is because part of the money goes to the creators? that, and because steam takes a 30% cut. idk if DE takes anything on top of that, but either way it explains the real money and the pricing problem.

God forbid a developer encourages community involvement and creativity. Yeah, Tennogen gives DE a reason to not have to put too much effort or work into deluxe skins. Why bother when you can just outsource any and all designs with minimal cost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can always "buy out" the skin like they do for console players which is why they can use platinum on the skins. Hell, if a skin goes to consoles, why not just allow PC players to then be able to buy those specific skins for platinum? 3 minutes ago, 4628Gin-san said: Except they still needed to put effort into their deluxe skins, otherwise why would they still be trying to sell them? Not as much as they used to. Zephyr's skin is a "passion project" and has been for a while, so not many resources are going towards it. Ember and Volt's skins were pretty half-assed and DE flat-out ignored any and all community feedback when it came to them, even going so far as to remove or even edit negative feedback post-release. Though will be fair on Volt where they rebranded it as "Proto" instead of its initial label of "Deluxe". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but I'm talking about it in the logical sense here. If they really were trying to capitalize solely on Tennogen revenue (which I'm not certain if they actually profit from it, but let's assume they do for argument's sake), then they would not be wasting resources on creating deluxe skins, period. Doing so when the community as a whole gravitates more towards Tennogen would be an economically disadvantageous decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doing so when the community as a whole gravitates more towards Tennogen would be an economically disadvantageous decision. The split is: - Creators: 30% - Valve: 30% - DE: 40% If they just stopped making Deluxe skins at all, there would be more of an outcry, but putting minimal effort in something is at least a way of saying "See! We still make some!" and looks better than doing none at all. Then there's also that some of the devs probably have their own ideas of what they want in the game (like the Zephyr Passion Project, which I fully believe is being made by someone who enjoys Zephyr and wants their design in). So deluxe skins can even be a way to placate the designers that have the "itch" to make something new (though would like if they showed different concepts to the community prior to modeling).

It's nice that DE interacts with the community like this. As I understand their level of involvement with the player base is quite rare. I just hope the artists actually get a decent cut of the profit and that DE doesn't screw them over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which totally explains why console players have access to (some) tennogen items (in exchange of plats). MAYBE DE would be able to pay steam/content creator while selling the tennogen for plats if these plats weren't stocking like crazy in game. "Steam and tennogen creator get money from the sale of tennogen items" is really a pitiful excuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)Multi-Melta Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 A T-Shirt for $25? I don't think so. I love Unreal Tourna-- er, Warframe as much as the next guy but seeing as how I wouldn't really wear it I can't justify the purchase this time. That and if your premium statue quality is anything to go by . . . yikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
