Riot has no obligation whatsoever to do ANY type of free RP promotion. I don't understand this notion that the consumer has where they feel a company has to cater to their every single particular whim. This company produces a game where you don't have to spend one stinking penny on it if you so choose. Grow up and shut up, people.

Its Riot what do you expect

Smart way of making money, getting all that Christmas money. Sure, it'll piss off people that already bought RP, but let's be real here, people complaining about it isn't going to stop millions of people from buying RP as soon as the sale starts.

Yea, it is. But I'd expect this kind of thing from EA, not Riot. It just reeks of dickishness.

Don't even start. You're going to buy that bonus RP now, but not enough to last til the next sale and you're going to then buy non-bonus RP. If you ever buy RP not during the bonus sale, you have just proven yourself a hypocrite and freed Riot from any accusations of greedy marketing techniques.

I've bought only $35 worth of RP, and that was like in december of last year. I honestly would have bought another $100 if my ping was below 100, but it's not, so I've always been able to resist the urge.

So do you also get mad when everything is 40% off after christmas because you didn't saw it coming?

No, because that's to be expected with regular stores whose only goal is to make money. Riot constantly says they're one of the most player focused companies around, yet they also constantly prove otherwise. I'm just here to point it out.

Even if a company is very player focused, it still remains that a company's first goal is to make money, or else the company can't go on and will die.

You realize that almost every company in existence does huge January sales to make up for the fact that people don't spend as much money in the month following Christmas?

Just walk in a store and look around. You'll see.

Fking relax people.
