So apparently locking a character behind a larger paywall for a community fund is okay now?

If you want to nitpick about what the store says, be my guest. You’re still 100% wrong. You know what half of the money is going toward because they told us. You’re fully aware of this, so either you’re trolling now, or you’re trying to double down on an argument that you have to know is faulty at best.

Good luck with that.

Yep, this is the description

Description

Before Fulgore and the Mark 03 units were introduced to the world, Ultratech created a line of failed cyborgs during the secret CCIX Program. These hulking battle machines bore twin overpowered chain guns that tended to overheat, making them unstable and unfit for service. But one cyborg—nicknamed Kilgore—became self-aware, and started rewriting his own software to account for this deficiency in his hardware. Saved from the scrapheap, this special unit has been brought out of retirement by ARIA to enforce her will…and Kilgore obeys.

No mention at all of the funding

i’ve been seein it said around, but where did the idea that the fund is to help get us to evo come from?

Uh…yeah. Sort of how people wait a year to get the whole season for “free” with gold. Or how people wait until the Holiday Season to get a good sale price. Or [insert scenario X here]…

Bottom line, if you want the character now, get it.

not everyone is aware though, its false advertisement. You are the one who is wrong, when you buy something, it is the job of the seller to properly communicate what you are purchasing, the store page doesn’t do that.

But I can’t buy just the character without anything extra to artificially inflate his price.

Can we just stop arguing. It’s evident at this point that neither side is going to convince the other. It doesn’t do anyone any good to keep fighting like this.

The store misrepresenting what the purchase is entirely for isn’t an argument, its fact.

I don’t mind having these discussions as long as people don’t take it personally. Just because we disagree on things like this doesn’t mean we have to be enemies for life lol

I said it the stream thread, but the important consideration is that in community funding things, the good ones like dota ,aside from being cosmetic, also give you the same value as what you pay for. You get the value out of it while also helping fund whatever prizepool. You don’t make a pure donation so that you can buy content.

I honestly don’t know what you are complaining about anymore. Some characters are just premium buys. Look at Arbiter…who is still $10 today.

Its stupid for arbiter too. A single character shouldn’t cost a fourth of the entire price of the full game.

Who cares? Why is the description the end all / be all for you when the developers literally said that half was going to the community fund?

You have to be trolling. No one digs their heels in this hard and avoids 100% factual information just so they can complain.

That’s not what we’re talking about though. You yourself said that the only thing they’re offering is the character, and you refuse to accept the donation portion. This is what I was talking to you about. Did you watch the stream? They said it there. They said it on twitter. It’s FACT. You stating they’re not offering the donation part is wrong. That’s what I said was wrong before and you’re still wrong.

You want to talk about misleading fans, go for it. I think the donation part should be in the description too. I don’t personally care that it’s not, but I never disagreed with you there. But that’s completely separate from what we were talking about, which is what they’re actually offering and you know what they’re actually offering so stop acting like you don’t and moving the goal posts just because you can’t accept the fact that you’re wrong. It makes you sound like a troll.

Finally, someone who gets it.

Im not wrong. They inflated the price to take a donation, if they want donations, make it a donation, not a reason to charge more for something, its wrong.

Oh the donation part should def be in the descrip, but I think the outrage over it not at the moment is a little high. Hey MS add it to the descrip!

@jpraelster93 $10? You’re complaining again about something arbitrary in EVERY thread you make dude. It’s not like your paying for a $60 season pass or a costume DLC bundle for $70-$100(I’m looking at you DOA5) where’s your positivity bro? And jabbing at the community fund in this way is just awful…

Hardly a discussion, but more feedback at this point. Redirect ing

Can we just lock this thread and stop the madness.
