the store set the prices back to being ridiculous. has it even been two weeks? not to mention that the discount we were promised in an apology, was only broken up bundle items that they took $2 off bundle prices.

I bet they are only reducing prices on ânewâ items. Probably so they can ignore the arguments about compensation for reducing prices on what people already purchased.

Thatâs stupid as hell. They bought it. They should deal with the consequences.

Stupid or not, itâs not going to change peopleâs minds and how the way those arguments are handled will represent the companies policy and reputation going forward.

What argument, if i buy an item ina store and a few weeks later it gets reduced, i dont complain and ask for the difference back. Its the premium you pay for getting things asap.

i dont think the yoroi stuff will be effected yet. This week was still on the books originally and they had already sold the Chonmage at a $20 pricepoint prior to now so its in thier interests to introduce newer stuff with price changes and continue to work off the baseline that initial bundles have set so they dont âde-valueâ whole kits /sets.
Laborious growing pains i know but necessary steps to take if they wanna make this stuff work and feel better.

They probably also saw that we wouldnât notice the campaign not being able to be played offline.
I saw the prices, and then realized that its a 1 item per purchase, great deals 343i, this and nothing is the same

Lol yup.
This game seems to me like its basically just research in how much they can screw over the fanbase and still turn a profit.
Iâm of the thinking that 343 sat down and created the shop first and then tried to create a Halo game around the shop.

I donât think dividing the player base against each other for something benign as a credit kick back is the way to go, itâs still players vs 343 as far as Iâm concerned-
Obviously people paid too much too early but âshould deal with the consequencesâ in a world where in other games or digital media, thereâs examples of companies giving their players kickbacks in situations like this one, entertaining the idea shouldnât be regarded as stupid.
Us vs them, not us vs us vs them.

Some final points in that thread reiterate the misconception~

Too bad the more money we give them, the further the patches get pushed!
It certainly seems like it. Did you see that the cat ears were in official concept art YEARS ago.
Somehow cat ears made the cut but co-cop didnât?
They bought it. Why should they expect compensation when the price lowers?
thatâs part of being an adult, i bought Zvezda week one (before all of the out rage). if they lowered the price on it, Iâd just be well that sucks but i made my choice.
however there are some ppl even here on the forum that were crying for reimbursement long before 343 even considered lowering prices

They arenât reducing prices on items that were already available so that the people who already paid for them donât feel ripped off.

Itâs a win/win for 343. They get to continue ripping us off on items but get to pretend theyâre trying to be fair to the babies who bought the overpriced stuff and complained.
