I wanted to buy the new skin for cowboy bebop in fortnite and it literally made it so you can't outright purchase the exact amount of currency you need. You have to buy more or less. So either way your paying more money and left with useless currency in your account. Its giving gambling tbh. Definitely giving casino scam

i can get you in a 10th prestige lobby for 1600 microsoft points

imagine still playing fortnite and not grinding stw for free vbucks

I agree It’s super manipulative. Way easier to think of blowing 2000 vbucks or whatever as opposed to actually showing that these items cost $20 USD. We live in a capitalist state that rewards scamming though so nothing will be done about it

They discontinued being able to earn vbucks with new Stw purchases since like 2019 :/

I had to stop playing PSO2NGS for that same reason.

you still get daily quests and maps with vbucks as rewards

OP don’t remember buying 1600 Microsoft point cards for purchases that were only 1200

Always been this way

Yeah. If you owned stw before 2019

If you didn’t you don’t get those quests

wait for real? you dont get the daily quest that gives you 30 vbucks? and the missions that has vbucks rewards?

I thought you only meant the founders rewards which were daily login rewards for like 1-2 years

Don’t think of the skin costing X amount of V bucks. Think about it costing X amount of dollars you’d have to spend to get it.

welcome to modern day gaming

The Finals lets you earn their premium currency for free

Right I'm saying you would still end up paying way more. Like for example the skin costs 1500 v bucks which is equivalent to 15 dollars but you can only buy 10 dollars worth of v bucks. So you are required to buy more of an imaginary currency. Its predatory AF. Reminds me of those scam gambling games

Nigga, just boost XP then spend a lil you get free bread without needing the battle pass, not giving gambling. No loot box

And the currency cards are cheaper IRL than buying in-game

1500 pretty cheap, especially for a collab

Nope! Only founders (people who owned it before the change) get the daily quests for vbucks! Anyone who bought after doesn’t

They also went out the shop 55 mins ago

I think it leaked they were gonna bring back being able to buy the exact vbucks you wanted

Predatory behavior for cosmetics in a free game

Them CEOs would shoot you as someone who worked at wb games and directly talked to monetization team

We saving our vbucks for Yakuza or Hank Hill

OP a decade late lmao

Also this game is f2p, so this is how they generate revenue. I’m all against in game monetization but this is their business model to stay afloat simple as
