Ccp 2.0 quick feedback.

I have no stock in this feature but I had a piece of feedback to share.
Normally when community members are asked to input a content creators code, there is some incentive for the people entering it.
From what i understood from the announcement, youre just asking people to do extra work with no benefit to them.

Im struggling to see the point atm

If BG came back id slap his code on that would be enough incetive for me lmao

Its just to be nice. Now, when you buy something from Kabam, you can also help out someone who deserves it at no extra cost.

He'd send everyone who uses his code a free bald cap

Thats the thing though. People already do that by watching a content creator. Theres no incentive to enter a code unless youre very parasocial with one

It's Fortnite creator codes. The creators promote the product, Kabam gives them a slice of the webstore sales. It means nothing to us or for us except we can choose to support creators we like.

Eh... I'm definitely gonna be putting in MCOC Encyclopedia's code (mcoce) anytime I make a purchase. If it wasn't for him I would have given up before I even got cavalier.

I think Seatin made a great point about this being a much bigger thing for certain creators who have a much harder time monetizing their contributions. For Youtubers, they get their income from people watching their videos. If you have a Youtuber that you watch a lot, you're already part of their economic solution.

However, how did you contribute financially to Cat Murdock whenever she releases a phenomenal infographic? Her work (and others like her) doesn't bring in any income. Not because people withhold any income from her, but because there isn't a way to contribute. I know she has a store where she sells stuff so you could go there and buy something, but just watching what she puts out doesn't really help her in any way in an economic sense. As such, it might be a good way to throw her (or other people in a similar situation to her) a couple of cents out of every dollar you spend.

I would be curious to know if the people that run sites like Khonshu's Ankh or Auntm.ai (RIP) could have been given similar codes, despite not being part of the CCP (as far as I know). I think they provide a similarly vital but hard-to-monetize service to the community.

You don't need to be parasocial to support someone who has given to the community. If you already plan on buying something, you could just put in a creator's code who helped you in the past with like a guide or something.

it’s just more marketing. By giving the YouTubers a piece of the pie, they are more incentivized to get their subscribers to spend on the game because they will directly benefit from that. So their thoughts on the game will tend to be more positive as a result. People already donate to them on their individual channels already, so this is just a way for them to get another revenue steam that makes them have to be positive about the game in order to receive it. Who’s going to be using a code if the person is telling them not to buy?

I actually find that having that CCP code will make me not trust those people anymore. That’s just me though. But get your bag girl and all that lol

The point was that you already are helping them by interacting with their content in the first place.

I feel as though this is coming off as if I personally will not use this.

I'm talking about value for the average summoner who purchases in the store. You're asking a person in 2025 who probably has the attention span of a squirrel and thrives on instant gratification to take the time to put in a code that gives them nothing in return. It doesn't make much sense. I feel like this could have been implemented in a way that is much more encouraging for the average Joe to use it and support a content creator.

Searmenis

You don t just put the code, you have to spend to make the use of, in favor of your favorite youtuber. Paying him for his entertainment services, if any, through kabam.

Now, while kabam is so rich to do this, why the game is still bugged, I have no idea.

I though we were in a "buying stuff to get keep the lights on" situation.

Yeah, I feel like they could have thrown in a cosmetic item tailored to the specific content creator like an emote or pfp. To the average person there may be little incentive. However, I do appreciate that this exists at all now, because there are people who do want to go above and beyond to support the creators who spend their time helping the community. And having a way where you can support them by making a purchase you were already going to is nice.

Not sure about cat but website owners like khonshu ankh and me already have donation setup. Also it would be great if we get the entry into CCP. I have already applied for CCP but no response so far.

TotemCorruption

What I get out of it is being able to financially support a CC I like with minimal effort.

It's not supposed to be a reward for players.

Or Kabam could just pay Cat directly for her graphics since they're such a huge contribution and far better communicate ideas than Kabam themselves.

They do

Personally, in the unlikely event of me ever buying anything from the website, I'll be adding the code mcocnoob.

Incentive: keep him making videos. The man's a legend...
