Pirate emporium horrible pricing

  • I saw this talked about on discord and figured I would write it out.

    A player had bought the bone chiller weapons bundle last year for 499 coins. This year they added 4 more weapons to the bundle and increased the cost to 999 coins.

    The problem is there is no way for that player to purchase the 4 new weapons for 500 coins. Their options are to buy the bundle again adding up to 1498 coins spent or buy the 4 new weapons individually for 249 coins each or a total of 1495 coins spent.

    Why is there not a way for the player to spend 999 coins (the cost of the full bundle in the store right now) for all 8 weapons. Why must they pay a premium of roughly 500 coins for supporting rare last year when the 4 new weapons were not even announced.

  • Marketing 101

  • Wait for a sale.

    Then you get the items at a price you find reasonable and you send the message with your money about what like and don't like.

  • Basically outdated system that focuses on nickle and diming their playerbase for as much money as possible.

    Hopefully rare can start keeping up to the times. Most steam games have implemented this, as well as Epic Games with their hit survival zombie game TwoWeeks Fortnite.
