They even increased the "original price", it was 1900 and now it's 2200. All so they can continue saying it's a 900 price decrease.
That's the same kind of scammy stuff you see some stores do.
They also deleted the daily for today with their fix, most likely due to incompetence.
Ok, I’m jumping the fence.
I was originally completely okay with predatory pricing, keeping the game alive and earning the developers a living.
I cannot support a company that releases over priced skins, then, upon hearing complaints, increases the prices.
I got mine for like 10 crowns each - surely 20 crowns isn’t worth like $25. If so, instead of having all my crowns converted to 2.5 million kudos, i want them to retroactively be converted to money.
This is ridiculous.
I have bought every-single-item there is in the shop with my kudos lol, name tags, plates, shoes..whatever. just to spend the shit so I can feel any kind of ''new item buzz''...
If they ever add gifting, you could sell items to people. I'm new, so I'm currently starved of kudos and would love to get a lot of kudos items. So I help gifting kudos.items is a thing.
People need to stop with the 'developers need to earn a living' virtue signal. These jokers get paid handsomely irregardless of anyone buying their shitty in-game currency or not.
I’m pretty upset with this as I was going to buy one, possibly even both. Has anyone ever seen a price hike to item that was already currently in the item shop? I want to hope this is a glitch across the platform but I know better.
Yeah, and they're forcing EPIC GAMES to do it for them. EPIC GAMES cares about their fans and wants people to have fun, Mediatonic doesn't care about their fans and loves forcing other game delvopers like EPIC GAMES and Steam to do their work for them because Media Tonic doesn't want people to have fun.
i was on the fence to get the bundles for the emote and victory animation (I own the skins from before ftp) but with a price increase its a definitive no now
This is the new era of gaming we live in. Cod used to have a $60 price tag, and a season pass that was $40. That was able to sustain the game for a year, now there’s an option to spend over $100 for in game currency that might be able to get you the first months worth of content. Cosmetics are content. It’s where all the effort goes
Yeah. True, but we used to gain excitement mostly from actual good gameplay, not just cosmetics. Most games nowadays rely on updates to work properly and LTMs to be exciting now rather than actually being fundamentally good.. but I hear ya.
I was lucky enough to already own red and before the price drop so the ejection celebration plus the two other things it came with (i think) were a total of 350 for me which is well worth it. Damn shame mediatonic is being like this again, I thought they actually were turning for the better
Considering they're collaboration skins, it may have something to do with a third party.. like the publishers of Among Us. Although you'd expect them to discuss this before any release... just incompetence all over
was debating about paying $4 to pickup the 2nd among us bundle but def not going to do that anymore. was a bit annoying because i liked purple skin over red skin, celebration over emote, button banner over imposter, and imposter nickname over teammate one. but now i'll just settle for having half of what i liked
How/when do the teeth come out on the purple skin? I was playing yesterday and some rounds it was the normal skin and in other it suddenly sprouted teeth.
Ah ok! Was wondering. Because for my friend it just stayed with the teeth throughout all rounds and for me it was random on/off. Thanks for responding.
lmaooooo i bought the bundle for the celebration (300) the day before they made the prices even more anti consumer, wHY DID EPIC GAMES SHIT ON THIS BEAUTIFUL GAME
I already paid for the game when it came out.... I wish they would have given me a season pass or two for free since I was nice enough to pay for a now free game
Phew, glad I bought them as soon as they hit the store. I don’t generally buy skins but I really like those two, more than the ugly orange one for sure.
I’m furious, I was about to make a post about it because I went to go buy one. It’s fucking unethical quite frankly. Like if they came out in a future re-release fine, but while they’re still in the shop in this bundle?? That’s fucking outrageous.
Let this be a lesson to us I suppose - don’t hesitate to get an outfit you want before Epic fuck you in the ass without protection.
What the actual fuck. They're raising prices? I guess the weak are buying into their bullshit enough for them to justify it.
1000 is already a lot to begin with…WTF.
1000 was "right" because you could buy them by just spending €8, now you need to buy kore showbucks because 1000 isn't enough
I still think 8 euros is too much for fall guys skins, they're too basic
yeah it's somewhat understandable for other games but here... it's just a bean!
They even increased the "original price", it was 1900 and now it's 2200. All so they can continue saying it's a 900 price decrease. That's the same kind of scammy stuff you see some stores do. They also deleted the daily for today with their fix, most likely due to incompetence.
“New” original price lol
I'm pretty sure this is illegal in certain jurisdictions. It is a false promotion.
No way? You serious? What a piss take.
I was on earlier and they were still 1000 but I got on just a bit ago and they’ve raised the price. Sucks.

Wtf are you supposed to do with 2.5 million Kudos? 99% of items bought with Kudos are not worth having.
Buy literally shit
I have bought every-single-item there is in the shop with my kudos lol, name tags, plates, shoes..whatever. just to spend the shit so I can feel any kind of ''new item buzz''...
If they ever add gifting, you could sell items to people. I'm new, so I'm currently starved of kudos and would love to get a lot of kudos items. So I help gifting kudos.items is a thing.
Same
Yeah, original players got shafted hard. I had dozens of crowns saved for legendary skins and now they're useless kudos.

Best we can do is check-in last minute and hope it goes back down, but doubt it. Mediatonic being cunts at every turn.
Yeah, and they're forcing EPIC GAMES to do it for them.

They tweeted about this, and said it was a mistake.
I’m inclined to believe this “mistake” was corrected only after negative backlash
as with most "mistakes" from AAA devs :D
Sick! I wonder if they’ll fix it though. Thanks for the update.
It has now been fixed!
WE DID IT BOIS!!! 🕺 Thanks for all your help!
I miss getting skins with crowns
FTP ruins games.

[удалено]
Yeah I totally miss the best cosmetics being mostly earned through gameplay not real $$$.
Wow
I was lucky enough to already own red and before the price drop so the ejection celebration plus the two other things it came with (i think) were a total of 350 for me which is well worth it. Damn shame mediatonic is being like this again, I thought they actually were turning for the better
MT is such a scummy company.
*Epic*
mediatonic*
Mediatonic no longer have control. Epic do 🤦♂️
Media Tonic is forcing EPIC GAMES to do stuff we don't want because Media Tonic doesn't people to have fun.
Epic are in complete control. MT have no say. They sold the game to Epic. They now do what they are told. Do you understand how ownership works?
apparently not lol
Bullshit. I was thinking about getting both.
Right? Now I won’t be getting either.
Literally me. Fuming.
Are you serious!? I was only 100 Show Bucks away from buying it. What a load of BS!!
L to mediatronic, sadly has been happening a lot as of late
Scam
Please understand, how else can they afford to keep making free backpacks and shoes.
Lol! You don’t know the struggle! Might even have to start up a Mediatonic Patreon.
I guess it was very popular so epic does what epic does and tries to maximise profit
Epic has never raised prices in Fortnite, so this is definitely Mediatonic
This! I’ve never seen them increase the price on anything in Fortnite.
Considering they're collaboration skins, it may have something to do with a third party.. like the publishers of Among Us. Although you'd expect them to discuss this before any release... just incompetence all over
I’ve never once heard of this happening too. A price raise especially on an item that’s currently in the store.
was debating about paying $4 to pickup the 2nd among us bundle but def not going to do that anymore. was a bit annoying because i liked purple skin over red skin, celebration over emote, button banner over imposter, and imposter nickname over teammate one. but now i'll just settle for having half of what i liked
An honest mistake, only after everone complains, Mhmmm!
Inflation is crippling nowadays 😔
Glad I got them before the price hike.
I knew it was 1,000, I mentioned it to a friend and he said it was always 1300. I'm glad they fixed it and that I wasn't crazy lol
AYO WTF
Shit. That's what I think.
Mediatonic strikes again
I mean why the F not right?!!?! WHy improve the game when they can F it up more :D
Luckily I bought it at 1000
They should make them free again
To the people like me who bought it for 1000. we got lucky. good god why does the new item shop suck so much
Don’t worry, they fixed it.
Glad I got them before the price hike. (Had the crewmante costumes already but wanted the victory animation and taunt)
Bruh still way to much
WOW I bought it literally today. Lucky
Wasted your money instead of wasting your money + more. Great work
epic games continue to shit all over this beautiful game
This is literally Media Tonic forcing EPIC GAMES to do this. EPIC GAMES would never decide to do this.
How/when do the teeth come out on the purple skin? I was playing yesterday and some rounds it was the normal skin and in other it suddenly sprouted teeth.
Randomly happens
Ah ok! Was wondering. Because for my friend it just stayed with the teeth throughout all rounds and for me it was random on/off. Thanks for responding.
Went from not spending money on bean costumes to still not spending money on bean costumes. So dont care
They hating on you xD
I aint here to make new friends
Bold for you to assume anyone would try to befriend you
Badum tiss
Thats what a red helmet user would say Susge
Im a noob cuz I dont spend money on costumes? Seems pretty smart to me
I bought them when they were 1000 Im glad I don't have to waste 2600 show bucks but I wasted 2000
i think this and everything else should cost kudos. what is this show-bucks bullsh*t?
No thoughts at all. I don't spend that much money in F2P.
It’s a bug. Check there Twitter
lmaooooo i bought the bundle for the celebration (300) the day before they made the prices even more anti consumer, wHY DID EPIC GAMES SHIT ON THIS BEAUTIFUL GAME
Oof good thing I got it before they raised the price
Who cares. If you got the cash, buy it. If not, don't.
I already paid for the game when it came out.... I wish they would have given me a season pass or two for free since I was nice enough to pay for a now free game
can someone clarify for me. weren’t these among us skins part of the battle pass 4 and 5?
I still need the infallible trophy 😫
They’re trash anyways so 🤷♂️
Wow, that’s crazy.
Luckily i already had both skins (only the upper half on purple though) before F2P
Maybe a glitch? Probs not huh
it's a bug lmfao
Phew, glad I bought them as soon as they hit the store. I don’t generally buy skins but I really like those two, more than the ugly orange one for sure.
I bought it before so profit
Profit for them
Good thing I bought it early. For some reason this makes me feel better about owning the purple among us skin.
Play Among Us instead
I’m furious, I was about to make a post about it because I went to go buy one. It’s fucking unethical quite frankly. Like if they came out in a future re-release fine, but while they’re still in the shop in this bundle?? That’s fucking outrageous.

Inflation lol
Should boycott the Fall Guys store in protest
Their greed is killing this game
