Oh BHVR (not an update rant)
I admit to not paying much attention to the rifts lately. I haven't completed one since number 2. But I have been a defender of it since the rift has launched. I understand economics and the need for a company to make money. I see nothing inherently bad about an optional mechanic that is really only needed to be purchased once. I don't see a battle pass as a greedy system, but one that rewards players for playing the game. The value of the rewards, as subjective as they are, are there to see and technically when purchased once, a person could claim every 'paid' track for free in perpetuity.
That being said, I have a major gripe about the current one. And I'm not sure if it has happened before and I wasn't paying attention or if this is a first.
But putting a single piece of a cosmetic on the free track while locking the rest of the outfit behind the paid track is kind of sleazy. It plays on the emotions of people, either the cometionists or those who fomo. It's a psychological ploy to make people more willing to spend money. Much like buying in game currency in packs that are either too little or too much, so that when you buy the thing you want, you have leftover currency that you need to spend more to use.
While not illegal. And admittedly smart. It is not a moral practice. It is a, dare I say greedy one? I get the point of a business is to make money. But this is like I said, kinda sleazy.
The only upside is you did this with Johan. Who the hell plays Jonah? How many people are going to spend money on a Guy Fieri look alike? I think your psychological games will fail this time around!
