Welcome to the new age of security

i would upvote but its at 69

I'm still waiting to find out what caused his team to be so darn in ncibile

you messed it up

Transformer Sion!

These promotions/sales/bonuses are exactly that..bonuses..a chance for them to sell a product that's been out a while and a chance for you to buy said product cheaper than originally advertised or buy something for the same price with an additional entirely free item. They offer a sale when a new skin, like Mecha Sion, is released. I think it's a lot less "riot not caring" and a lot more "I feel entitled to.."

In a few months, Mecha Sion will be applicable for some sort of get-your-free-item bonus tied to a holiday, sale, bundle, what-have-you.

Second off, Riot's a damn business man - level your expectations. They have more people to satisfy than a temperamental playerbase..like investors.

Pretty sure everyone is failing to realize they would make more money if they released it with the event lol.

Nooo...... It was a Donald Trump reference...

Now if we could just have the other 2 characters... (Fiora with Frozen Mallet = Weiss)

god the feels

RoBro's before RoHoe's

I'm not defending them. You're as single-minded as I mentioned the others were. I'm also no ones butt buddy here. I like you did, came of my own accord, and I came here to make my opinion voiced and prove a point. A point which clearly passed over your head. Advertisement costs to get Advertised. LCS was not always around, and although it is now, it is also a very new market still. My main point was around the fact that people have felt "Entitled" for years. The company is not the victim, and also I understand that they are "A company." (An ignorant point to make. Just because my "company" is a "Company" does not mean that I always pull in what I need when I cater to my audience.)

There are a massive amount of intervals that go into these things, and also, you need to scroll down more and read my second post before even trying to argue with me. You'll then discover how much exactly it takes to pay ONE employee. So no, there are no "Ah man, good work guys. 100k to each person a year. Even you there Mr. Janitor for the office."

No the fact is you're actually IGNORING the greater picture and only seeing my "Mr. Game Dev." point when in reality I am speaking of the company as a WHOLE.

This includes paying Accountants, Janitors, Advertisement, Marketing Agents/Consultants/Analysts. Game Devs/Analysts/Testers (Riot actually still has a dedicated testing team FYI smart one.

They also must payout to LCS in order to run LCS. (A form of advertisement yet again, and the properties to host on. All of the technology, gear, and then on top of that. The massive amount of extra employees to go and maintain LCS.

You're treating it like I'm running sword and shield to ult in and defend. No. I am talking to the people who waste their time whining and are literally ignorant of how a business is ran. I am teaching and you are one who obviously needs to be taught.

You pay for the game. You've a right to an opinion and you've a right to complain. I did not say anything about your complaining. I was speaking to those in which complain without actually studying what exactly they're complaining about. You further proved my point.

" It doesn't - matter - that the game is free to play, it doesn't - matter - that the primary doesn't pull in revenue, because at the end of the day Rito employees are just that; employees."

This is redundant as a statement. You're saying the Employee's are employees and are not seen as anything more, anything less. You say it doesn't matter that the primary (the business) pulls in revenue because employee's are employee's.

Reread your own statement and critically think about what you've just said. Now tell me if that makes since. So logically, I can run a company that makes zero revenue into the ground and cost everybody their job including mine because. Even if I owned it, I'm still an employee. I should trust the fact that I at some point incorporated my company as either a C-Corp or and S-Corp and that should protect my employee's pay in the event I don't pull in revenue.

Do you know what Limited Liability means? It means there is a limit on how much the "Plain Ol' Company" is liable for before those running the show (including INVESTORS) have to pay out of pocket.

"This game makes - plenty - of money. It's free to play, but that does - not - mean the playerbase is a charity. They want money? Fucking work for it, like any game company that sells their shit for the standard $60."

This game makes money by paying close attention to their marketing strategy. Which by the way, has a lot to do with their market. The players. They work against the players to figure out what the player base (btw that is two words, not one.) needs are without sacrificing their own profits, and turning over a profit.

Which by the way, is the whole point of a business. The more money they make, the more they can spend to expand and give more back to the players.

Which also means that your opinions, are your opinions. But your complaint, needs to be reasonable in all its aspects. Including understanding the internal/external structure of the business in question before trying to argue against anybodies opinion or point. I work for my paycheck. I run my own business, it is a clothing and music business. I do not pay myself a "phat check" because in fact, since I own the damn company. I in fact get paid last.

Think of it like a very long list of bills. Do you keep your money, spend it, and wonder why you can't pay even one of your bills. (employees, all expenses other than employees. I'm not going to list the thousands of inside expenses any business pays at that point in its life.)

Or do you save it, and pay your bills. Then reap the benefits. (This example is in terms of a householder.)

In business terms you got two end choices after that initial choice. Reap the benefit, or expand. Riot has a very progressive expansion history.

You also act like it is free to upgrade their tech, their servers, the cost of the player base in which the servers can hold. The internet usage. The traffic server access fees. The percentages paid back to their investors, the percentages paid to share holders, the percentages paid out to legal claims agencies. The percentage paid to operate the business (Which by the way. For every state they have a facility in, they must in turn pay to operate in that state. This includes each Server System they have in order to connect players into the mainframe.)

I can go on for days, but you simply do not have the intellectual capacity on this subject to keep fighting my opinion about this. I have been in business for awhile. I've done a lot of things, and I used to be like you. Until I grew up entirely when I was 20.
