Does Kabam understand the game economy?

As if the unit cost wasn’t bad enough, the pitiful amount of gold is straight up insulting.

6000 units for a champion with almost no meaningful abilities and some of the worst base stats in the game?
Bargain... 😉
Unfortunately for you, Kabam doesn't care that you don't like this offer
They should care that enough people would buy the offer to bother making it. This isn't a good enough offer to put out at this time.
Real life logic does not apply here.
At least og vision is kinda useful with power gain and power drain, thanos needs to be x200 to start being useful
An offer that sparks positive interest (nope), encourages sales (lol), and/or advances the organization toward achievement of short- or long-term strategic goals (Possible. Maybe they needed to squeak in another offer by the end of the month to make someone's quota for their bonus and making the offer matters more than it being successful?).
There is no great conspiracy to get people to spend their Units before July 4th. That's just not a thing.
The Offer is for anyone who wants it. No one is forcing anyone into doing anything. If someone wants it bad enough, they'll buy it. If you think Kabam is somehow hurt if they don't, you're mistaken.
Not all Offers are meant to appeal to everyone, just like not all Players spend the same. Simple as that.
And what is with you and the ''it's a conspiracy'' comment every time? Not everything is a consipiracy dude, the offer is trash and since we are the consumers, we have the right to say something about it
''get people to spend their units before july 4th'' i know that you play this game long enough to know kabam releases multiple offers close to the july 4th and the reason we all know why, it's something that we already expect and almost everyone who plays the game know IT IS A THING, not a conspiracy
Btw i don't have a problem with kabam releasing offers like this close to july, just this specific offer is beyond horrible
Kabam wants people to enjoy the game, but if you think they're itching to drain the Units out of Accounts by making Offers you personally feel are outlandish, then you're wrong. They don't care if you buy a Thanos or not, outside of the usual care they put into their product.
6,000 units? For a champion?
When units could be going towards... actual useful resources?
This thing of ''oh it's bad so just don't buy it'' i don't have a problem with spending money or units, i wanna do it but with something that it's worth it
Some people are saying, "It's an offer hardly anyone will want and the timing is horrible, but just ignore it. Don't give them immediate feedback in the venue designed for just that thing. Eventually, over time, they may happen to release offers their customers like based on their own internal interpretation of events. This may lure back the customers they lost in while they were figuring it out on their own."
Previous posts about draining units could be plausible. Unless you're the one making the decision to roll out the offer, you have no idea if it's a conspiracy or not. I'm not surprised that there have been comments because when you look at the quality of the offer, the timing of it, and who it's directed at, then people may very well feel buyer's remorse throwing away $300 worth of units after seeing the deals coming out soon. Then they have to replenish those units with cash and that reinforces the notion others have had in this thread.
OG Vision has had like 5 different price points now. Here's the original-
I'm very upset I had to watch a Prof Hoff video for that.
30k units for a 6* OG vision and only able to go to Rank 2. You can now get him and rank him up for 9500 units to rank 3.
Offers will change over time. They aren't "showing desperation" when Thanos is 6k units and OG Vision was originally 15k units.
Whales are going to buy everything as they might aswell cause they have so many units and I don't really think many of them value them that much.
Some people do just love thanos for whatever reason they have and will want to get him as high a rarity as they can in a guaranteed offer instead of the slight chance with gifting or banquet crystals.
As they know all of these people will buy it almost 100% of the time they might aswell put a price on that offer which makes them a really high profit
And then there is that he's a trophy champ too wich increases the amount of people who will buy him just because he's Thanos
I also do agree that they probably do Want to get as many units out of players as they can at the moment just to make the July 4th sales even more tempting.
