Imagine that, a company that needs revenue to operate, try's to encourage people to spend money on the game that will allow them to further develop the game and keep it running. And also comment and say that is how you will be able to get the character in other ways after the initial first 6 months ! Seriously guys without offers like this to entice people to spend on the game how the hell do we expect it to keep running.
it's not like kabam were going bankrupt without releasing her for money only. no one has problem with offers but they specifically say that there will be no other way to get her for the next 6 months meaning ftp don't have any way at all to get her.
It's a meh trophy champ not Aegon or Doctor Doom. Who cares? Would you rather they sell important things that actually affect progression or meaningless champs that have zero bearing in the game whatsoever?
For sure. look i have no problem with f2p players. If you want to play the game without spending great. But dont complain everytime something is offered to a diffirent audience and stamp your feet because you think your entitled to it as well
I mean think about it, every time you see a video game what's at the end of the? Pre-order for exclusive bundles, add-ons, beta access, Etc.
Or when they offer a limited Collector's Editions with extra swag? And I'm sure blizzard loves releasing all these new expansion packs for Warcraft Just because... Or that the people on Steam or the PlayStation Pass ot X-box Live or any other Season Pass service are just doing it just because they have the love to give..
The alternative would be a game littered with Pop ups and ADs every 2 seconds which makes it virtually unplayable. I wonder if they would prefer that
Exactly! And even then those games that have nothing but ads on occasion have an offer where if you pay them five bucks you never have to deal with ads ever again. So yeah...

Same, I don't care one bit if someone never spends a dime on this game. It gets incredibly old when they have a tantrum every time a business does what a business does, attempt to earn money.
This game is not now and has never been a charity. It's purpose is to earn money for a company. If no one spends, there's no game. Do they over monetize some things? Absolutely. Does an overall mediocre champ being paywalled warrant getting upset? Absolutely not.
Complain about not enough 6* sigs for ftp players or something actually relevant and I'm on board. With this? 🤣 Come on man
Y'all way over assume too much. You did this with 6* R4 resources during spring cleaning. Paywall this, paywall that. Then they were in 7.2.
This very well could be the first step in her release. We just don't know thier plans. But for anyone who didn't make the connection of her in game name to the Sigil, that's on you.
Even still, you have just 2 champs out of like 250 or how ever many there are now that can get through money. Big deal.

Any game that has constant pop ups and ads i delete instantly. Not because i object to them doing it, becasue its just a diffirent way of making money, but because i waste so much time not actually playing the game i never become interested in it because its just stop start all the time

F2P players are important to the game and are the biggest customer technically. They don’t pay the bills per se , but you really shouldn’t look at it from what they spend, but how one referral can turn into 2-3 etc.
I don’t think this hurts hurts the game for F2P, maybe just a jealousy streak

And so they shouldnt. The people that contribtute to the running and maintainig of the game should have the option to get her first as a benefit of spending their money. If you dont want to contribute in the same way others do you shouldnt expect the same benefits. Pretty simple to me
ftp players also contribute to the game. we make up most of the game's population. it doesn't matter if a spenders got a champion first before ftp because eventually (in a good amount of time, not something like years or something), everyone would have the chance to get that champion for free. ftp now don't have that chance.
And out of curiosity what financial contribution do f2p players make to the game?
ftp players are the ones who make up most the playerbase. they help keep the game interesting and competitive given the multiplayer aspects of it. they also spread awareness of the game and in a way, are low-key advertising for kabam. they are also the ones mainly behind the ratings, reviews and other such stats which encourage spenders to download the game. The game also helps promote marvel property such as comics, movies, series, etc. and so it's directly a promotion for everyone in the game helping marvel themselves boost sales.
ftp help a lot in small and indirect ways
How do f2p players keep the game intresting exactly? And as far as im aware the guys that create awareness generally for the game are the content creators on youtube etc 99% of which spend money. In fact most of them create content based on them spending said money and sharing the results. The people that play the game i would say for the most part are Marvel fans, hemce them downloading the in first place. Im sure it would be VERY rare for somebody to play this game BEFORE ever reading a comic or watching a Marvel movie and this being the catalyst for them to do so. But lets be real, im sure there is an element of f2p players telling freinds etc about the game but that only actually benefits the game if those referrals spend money. My issue is eveytime there is something offered in the game that f2p players cant get immediatley i hear nothing but whining. Its like people that rent a movie at home to watch when it first comes out and everybody else kicking off because they have to wait until a tv station picks it up 12 months down the line and shows it for free. Absolute nonesense

Most ftp don't whine about anything like the earl-access bundles or smth. But when Kabam comes out with rubbish moves like the arena changes and this, they have a reason to.

So many games have DLC, purchasable content, multiple characters or items locked behind paywalls.
Mcoc has 2, out of over 200. That’s less than 1%.
Also look at future fight, it has some of the top champions locked behind spending. Imagine if ghost and quake were only purchasable. That would be crazy. Sigil witch is good, but she’s not anything game breaking.

Did we change the game recently so F2P players can only play for six months before having to pay?
As I keep saying, and as people keep acting surprised about, the game's primary monetization strategy is to monetize impatience. People comparing SW Sigil to Redpool seem to be forgetting that for all intents and purposes, Redpool is the only genuinely paywalled champ in the game. Every other champ has theoretical ways to get it. Even SW Sigil will likely have F2P ways to get the champ, as the statement "this will be the only way to obtain Scarlet Witch for at least 6 months" is almost certainly not just a statement targeting F2P players, but also the spenders getting the champ. Kabam is saying if you want her now, this is the only way to get her, so buy the Sigil. But Kabam is also saying if you buy the Sigil specifically to get her, don't assume some other way to get her won't materialize elsewhere down the road. You could spend today to get something others will get for free somehow tomorrow.
That's the flip side of monetizing impatience. If you want it today, you may have to spend. Conversely, whatever you spend on today, someone else will get tomorrow either cheaper or for free. You decide how patient you want to be. Both spenders and free to play players have to understand that.

The people that play the game i would say for the most part are Marvel fans, hemce them downloading the in first place. Im sure it would be VERY rare for somebody to play this game BEFORE ever reading a comic or watching a Marvel movie and this being the catalyst for them to do so. But lets be real, im sure there is an element of f2p players telling freinds etc about the game but that only actually benefits the game if those referrals spend money. My issue is eveytime there is something offered in the game that f2p players cant get immediatley i hear nothing but whining. Its like people that rent a movie at home to watch when it first comes out and everybody else kicking off because they have to wait until a tv station picks it up 12 months down the line and shows it for free. Absolute nonesense
Most ftp don't whine about anything like the earl-access bundles or smth. But when Kabam comes out with rubbish moves like the arena changes and this, they have a reason to.
Most ftp cry about EVERYTHING
They have that in common with Cav players.
Well makes sense because the biggest complaint based on a myth is probably that TB is shut behind a paywall 😂
Y'all way over assume too much. You did this with 6* R4 resources during spring cleaning. Paywall this, paywall that. Then they were in 7.2.
This very well could be the first step in her release. We just don't know thier plans. But for anyone who didn't make the connection of her in game name to the Sigil, that's on you.
Even still, you have just 2 champs out of like 250 or how ever many there are now that can get through money. Big deal.
No way she is gonna be available apart from Summoner Sigil my g

"Rare opportunities" sounds an awful lot like a combination of money, units and/or absurd luck.

Or when they offer a limited Collector's Editions with extra swag? And I'm sure blizzard loves releasing all these new expansion packs for Warcraft Just because... Or that the people on Steam or the PlayStation Pass ot X-box Live or any other Season Pass service are just doing it just because they have the love to give..
Same, I don't care one bit if someone never spends a dime on this game. It gets incredibly old when they have a tantrum every time a business does what a business does, attempt to earn money.
This game is not now and has never been a charity. It's purpose is to earn money for a company. If no one spends, there's no game. Do they over monetize some things? Absolutely. Does an overall mediocre champ being paywalled warrant getting upset? Absolutely not.
Complain about not enough 6* sigs for ftp players or something actually relevant and I'm on board. With this? 🤣 Come on man

I don’t think this hurts hurts the game for F2P, maybe just a jealousy streak
So many games have DLC, purchasable content, multiple characters or items locked behind paywalls.
Mcoc has 2, out of over 200. That’s less than 1%.
Also look at future fight, it has some of the top champions locked behind spending. Imagine if ghost and quake were only purchasable. That would be crazy. Sigil witch is good, but she’s not anything game breaking.
This is not a big deal
As I keep saying, and as people keep acting surprised about, the game's primary monetization strategy is to monetize impatience. People comparing SW Sigil to Redpool seem to be forgetting that for all intents and purposes, Redpool is the only genuinely paywalled champ in the game. Every other champ has theoretical ways to get it. Even SW Sigil will likely have F2P ways to get the champ, as the statement "this will be the only way to obtain Scarlet Witch for at least 6 months" is almost certainly not just a statement targeting F2P players, but also the spenders getting the champ. Kabam is saying if you want her now, this is the only way to get her, so buy the Sigil. But Kabam is also saying if you buy the Sigil specifically to get her, don't assume some other way to get her won't materialize elsewhere down the road. You could spend today to get something others will get for free somehow tomorrow.
That's the flip side of monetizing impatience. If you want it today, you may have to spend. Conversely, whatever you spend on today, someone else will get tomorrow either cheaper or for free. You decide how patient you want to be. Both spenders and free to play players have to understand that.
