Depends on what side of the issue you are on. A not-so-insignificant portion of the population would say a really great thing happened. I can’t imagine selling patriotic skins will put a dent in the relationship 343 has with the fans right now anyways.
Also, the skins are red, gray, and blue. Only with some little white accents that are barely noticeable.
Anyways, I’m not trying to start a political debate, and if you are then I’m not interested.
at this point i find it knd of funny (but more sad) that people complain about the store prices. they are exactly right for 343s customers, the investors.
gamers spending money are the product (non paying gamers are a side product like sawdust).
and everyone who spends money (even the smallest amounts) on the store is supporting these practices.
I’m not telling you what to do with your money, but just be aware that the gaming industry and especially AAA games are in this sorry MT contaminated state, bc of people spending money on microtransactions.
(i also know, that the whales are probably not on these forums and don’t care)
At this moment I can’t believe anything else that 343I is milking Halo for all the money it’s worth.
The passion for making a great Halo game instead is gone.
The increase the prices slowly, when players speak out against it they put down the prices but also the content in the bundles.
Like really 343I? That doesn’t make the situation better ffs.
This week’s store is terrible but hey, saved me some cash so thanks 343. Now if only you made all existing items swarchable and purchasable in store like Gears 5 did and I’d buy the chest piece I want but missed in a heartbeat.
Until we get a whole catalog that lets us pick and choose that also gets rid of the fomo along with them stop trying to raise the prices again this thread title is going to pop up in people’s heads over and over
I’m gonna’ level with you, a lot of people come out of the military with an intense distaste. I’m a Marine Corps brat (if that’s unclear, that means I was raised by a parent in the Corps.)
You can be in the military and not be a jingoist. Most are in because of the financial security and VA benefits.
I certainly don’t. I looked this week after seeing this thread, but that was the first time in months. When it became apparent that prices were consistently over double what I felt was appropriate I stopped window shopping.
I am honestly tempted by the Liberty Clad coating because Red/Blue/Gray has been my colors for as long as that has been an option. But $7? Not going to happen.
