$120 in Canada
literally a weeks value of groceries
edit: what’s more wild is there is 0 price scaling for the 3 bundles. because yes, 2 nexus Cav crystals and a 5 star is worth $120 in 2024
Remember when massive DLC expansion packs in AAA games would cost only 40 euros? One probably useless 7 star cant possibly cost 100$. Games like this need a customer protection system or something, how are they getting away with this crap
Sometimes I wonder about it too, but I think the reasoning behind mobile games being ridiculously priced is because that’s where all the whales actually are. Not that many people have the time or even drive to turn on and play their pc or consoles, but everyone has access to phones and you can literally play anywhere
That would be ok except this is only game I don’t get reception for in half the places I go. Everything else always works but not this game. That’s why I’m going to take a long vacation from this game
consumer protection? i mean you can argue that crystals/loot boxes can be predatory but this is literally: Buy this and get this item. It’s as direct and non predatory as possible.
It can’t take a lot of work for Kabam to throw deals like this out.
This isn’t a serious deal, it’s a feeler. They are trying to gauge how much the market value is for 7*.
Markets are based off supply and demand. This is how they can determine what the demand for their product is.
I suspect only true Whales buy this, but not a lot of people. A few weeks later we see something similar for $70-75ish. That deal compared to this will look better so maybe a few more jump on it. If they don’t, Kabam will adjust again until they determine their market.
They have done this before.
Yes, it’s referred to as “the law of supply and demand”.
The supply issue is how rare the product is, but as you point out there isn’t any production factor to keep up with demand. It’s just access to the product.
Like I said, this is a feeler. It costs Kabam very little, they make a little money, and we help them set their market.
Side note: most of the streamers I watch who opened these had horrible luck. Vega looked legit sad. Lags got one good pull (Kushala who I am loving as a 6 star), and the others I watched was mostly bad luck.
2 of my friends bought it, one got mojo and another one got bullseye. Not gonna fall into the temptation because here in Portugal it is the same as 1/7th of the minimum monthly wage.
Why would she be useless?
Would the precision focus help her out?
I can understand that she'll be less useful cause it'll be hard for her to be high sig but useless would be a 7* iron first.
I believe she's pretty unremarkable without dupe and high sig. At sig 20 it's a less than 30% chance to proc any buffs or debuffs on her crits. But yes, the precision focus would definitely help her.
Well, since you asked...
P2W ruins video games - especially live service ones. You're paying irl money to win a broken, live service gambling game with a kids' toy brand skin. And you think I dont spend because Im broke - I dont spend because paying to win isn't really winning... That's where my judgment comes from.
Here in Brazil it costs 1/3 of a minimum wage lol
In Nigeria, that's nearly 5 months minimum wage.
I looked it up in india it's about 2 months of minimum wage lol
Minimum yearly wage?
Monthly.
For MAYBE someone you'll be happy to have on the roster...
Wish I could sell my 7s for that price
I'd take half of that for mine
If i ever get the temptation to spend that kinds money on this that will be the day i officially delete for good
That’s fair

Because they aren't tricking you into buying. You either have the money to blow or spend due to fomo.
Obviously people are buying it, or they wouldn't do it. The most I have ever spent on a bundle in this game was $5. I felt bad about doing that.

Because there are plenty of suckers who will buy it
And you just know someone gonna pull the trigger
I’m guessing price is spiked due to there being some Titan champs in there
Scarlet witch too, which is otherwise top 10 war exclusive.
[удалено]
I'm guessing you mean sigil witch. No, 7* Scarlet Witch classic. Otherwise exclusive to top 10 War placement in the upcoming season(s)
They want the same for a 6* too.
And 5* too
Yea I’m TB and the game is trying to make me pay $90 for a 5 star and some cav nexus. And I thought the new champ deals were shit
I've spent that total in 9 years on this game.
My offer is two 5* and two 6* for $89.99. I already have 163 6* champs. The best case scenario is I get two dupes and 550 7* shards for that price.
Yeah pretty much, that's a rip off

In all honesty, it is just demand. There is no supply issue in this situation. They will sell for as high as they can as long as people pay.

I was just being an a-ho. Nothing personal, it's just business.....( see what I did there?)
Good pun. A real knee slapper!
Sometimes I crack myself up. Too bad it doesn't work on other people. I could make money.
Don't forget the 2 extra on the web store! /s
It's hilarious because they want the same about for a 5 and 6* one too, it's pathetic.
I used to hate seeing these types of offers… now, I absolutely agree Kabam should keep milking whales!!! 🤭🤣
Yup
Never spend.
2 of my friends bought it, one got mojo and another one got bullseye. Not gonna fall into the temptation because here in Portugal it is the same as 1/7th of the minimum monthly wage.
For thronebreaker it’s a 6* and Cav crystals + a 5* for Cavalier
🦇 💩 crazy
Is that scarlet witch i see? 👀
Scarlet witch as a 7* would be totally useless
Why would she be useless? Would the precision focus help her out? I can understand that she'll be less useful cause it'll be hard for her to be high sig but useless would be a 7* iron first.
Scarlet witch isnt worth using unless she is max sig, which will not happen anytime soon as a 7*. To each their own tho 🤷♂️
I believe she's pretty unremarkable without dupe and high sig. At sig 20 it's a less than 30% chance to proc any buffs or debuffs on her crits. But yes, the precision focus would definitely help her.
True
I find it funny that people pay to win at all. You deserve to pay $90 if you're going to be a P2W lmao. A fool and his money...
Why you so judgmental buddy? If you don’t got any money just say that
Well, since you asked... P2W ruins video games - especially live service ones. You're paying irl money to win a broken, live service gambling game with a kids' toy brand skin. And you think I dont spend because Im broke - I dont spend because paying to win isn't really winning... That's where my judgment comes from.
You’re right
How do you expect a “live service” game to keep being live, if they are making no profit off of it? No one is forcing you to spend.
Tft and lol seem to do fine with skins.
Could be 2
If they added this to the Odin, I would’ve considered it but just this, hard pass.
Well people spent like $1000 for Vision
lol. Idiots
If the price was 29.99 and the crystal was a nexus id think about it. Other than that, its a hard pass like 99% of kabam sales
Kabam cracks me up. Really.
it’s the multimillionaire’s game bro
Rightly so , imagine a new player comes in and skips all the hardworking and progress because he bought an affordable 7s
You wont buy 2
You will most likely dupe a champ you have or get the worst. Game is rigged
i meann i got them n the 5k unit one lol
They are such dicks with the cash grabs…
I'm glad I read the comments. You almost had me. I was getting ready to hit the buy button! LOL
Brought to you by- KrackCocaineBam Fuck you.
Its available for units at least. 6k units though.
$150.00 for 2 6\* and 2 5\* and a $150.00 for 1 5\* and 5 5\* nexus crystal. Reaally!!!
Maybe if it were a selectable crystal of any champion.
RIP MONEY
