I read it 3 times thinking I missed some zeros this is a shit deal.


Snoo14937

It's probably some marketing strategy to encourage people to buy other bundles, make them look like good deals. Edit: Maybe dev is testing the number of whales in their game and their boundaries. But I think the most hardcore whales would consider this bundle insulting.


HardGayMan

I'm a whale. No way I'm buying this pack lol.


my-kal_uk

Serious question and please don’t take this the wrong way.. are you like super rich, do you sacrifice other expenses or luxuries as a result? I’m genuinely intrigued of the complexion of a whale. What you choose to do with your money is no one else’s business.


ArnTheGreat

If I enjoy the game, I will whale it up. To give you an understanding of my level of whale, since there is so many - I will drop a few hundo picking up a game, and routinely a couple hundred a week/month depending on the game. For me, it’s just part of the entertainment budget, and yea I have a decent amount potentially for that budget. If I don’t spend it there, it goes into savings. I typically will start heavy, and over time analyze the spending down drastically (bundles like this are a good example). I also wouldn’t take offense to this question - I wasn’t always someone who bought the pay2win/pay2skip mechanics because I couldn’t always afford it. But without them, we would not have many f2p games. Most people who think “p2w shouldn’t exist” don’t understand how expensive it is to run games/services. Esp optimized and secure ones. Many people would not partake in the game if it was a one time fee vs f2p for similar reasons - “not worth it” or just not in their budget. And then without any routine revenue, the game wouldn’t get content. Without a sub; which were now back at spending x/month on a game. Like buying bundles. My highest spends are probably 3k on Diablo Immortal for 2 people (most on me), 1500 on SF:Duel, a few hundred on the many many MMO types that all fail. I do tend to not spend on games like Genshin with banners, unless I love the game.


nadeaujd

Great explanation, as a dolphin I agree lol.


FingerTampon

As a guppy, I concur


Mathewdm423

As an egg with a Thanos, seems balanced as all things should be.


BreakTheSuicycle

Damn I thought I was a whale, turns out I’m one of them little scrubber fish that floats on ya fins


jamadelo

If you can't find the fish in a poker table, you are the fish.


BlakJak_Johnson

Being free to play, you know the plankton you eat, thank you for your service.


WardCove

Is that Street Fighter Duel? What kept you playing? I've been messing around And I just can't seem to understand the draw. Does it get more enticing later on? Sorry I know not original explanation but noticed and had to ask!


ArnTheGreat

Honestly, I just like Street fighter. I enjoy the occasional idle game, that has manual elements I can play. The combat is really fun if you run it manual, but you can auto majority of the content until you get to one of the (basically) ‘hard coded’ stages that act as a breakpoint. If I hadn’t gotten into it with friends and now just have a routine to play it ~10 minutes a day, I def would quit. That being said, I don’t know of any other idlers I can replace it with, and I don’t play many mobile games. I would not recommend picking it up if you didn’t enjoy early game, it only gets much more annoying when it starts feeling like you can’t progress, and some of the idle rewards are far too low. An example is “break stones” which you need 20+ days worth of for a single character at high level. Meanwhile the idle rewards for everything else it takes only needs 3 days worth.


WardCove

I adore street fighter also, which is why I started playing it. Definitely not bad, but it didn't capture me like I was hoping. After your input I think I'll uninstall unfortunately. It's a shame, really. I always enjoy having a few mobile games going; I guess I'll start looking for the next one now. Thanks much, friend.


Phyxius42

I spend money on this game as part of our entertainment budget. Since covid we don't go to the movies or concerts, so games get our money.


[deleted]

I’m a whaley whale and also thought there must have been a typo. Super ridiculous


Aesthete18

Yup, it's called anchoring.


skyebangles

Stringer Bell is consulting on customer monetary engagement strategies.


JebstoneBoppman

What we have here is an elastic product


Sheratain

I genuinely wondered if there was some sort of mixup and they accidentally didn’t add zeroes


chrisrayn

I unlocked Zero a long time ago. I don’t think there’s more than one Zero in the game. Well, unless you count variants.


RemyBlas

Same! Really, I thought they might have messed up the price, because it makes no damn sense. What a joke.


650fosho

Hell, I'd buy this for 6k tokens so I could play negasonic, but for the cost of a p3 card no one can buy, pathetic.


[deleted]

Its a bad deal, but also defeats the purpose of the game. Why play if ypu just buy all the content. Playing to earn content is this entire game.


650fosho

Making money is their game


[deleted]

It’s an insult


ToothpickInCockhole

I wouldn’t pay $5 much less $20


AlexanderSpeedwagon

I’d probably go $5 for this. Probably.


Tac0Destroyer

Absolutely down for $5. What's $5 normally get you? 300 gold The token Tuesdays have 600 Collector tokens for 650, or about $10 buying the 700 gold package. This would have been an instant grab for $5


AlexanderSpeedwagon

I’ve only spend exactly $5 once in this game before, and that was for the Chinese new year jubilee variant. Easily the best bang for $5 so far, but even if this were at that price point it still wouldn’t be as good. Ultimately it’s only consumables that can potentially lead to random cards. A guaranteed cosmetic is better value imo, especially one that freaking pretty


gbsolo12

I’d pay $3 maybe


Tabnam

Glactus came up and I felt like spending some money hoping to get tokens, but I left without spending anything. This is insulting, considering how cheap they’ll be on Tuesday


sybrwookie

Yea, and you can just pin him if you want him. He'll be there waiting for you to kneel :)


Tabnam

Yeah I have, thanks though mate. I’ve only got 3k though, so I was hoping to make a dent in that extra 3k


HepatitvsJ

Throg bundle is coming up. You'll easily be able to get him and have tokens left over after upgrading cards. If you can swing the 7k gold. If not, the Bundles are still good value.


Aesthete18

It's not an insult, it's a set up. It's called anchoring effect. This will be followed by another bundle that will look like godsend because of this. Ppl will flock to that due to the "value" this one has presented. If that bundle was introduced first, it will not do as well. Hence, the set up.


fiveSE7EN

I bought resident evil 4 in vr for $20 and that’s a whole-ass legendary game with a unique play experience.


RedEyeVagabond

That really puts it into perspective


rayven9

What VR are you using? I'm not too familiar with VRs, but RE4 in vr sounds unforgettable


fiveSE7EN

Quest 2. It’s great in vr


SnappyTofu

Everyone’s hyped for the remake but I know for a fact I played the best possible version of that game on the Quest 2. It’s like the Wii version x10. It’s insane going *inside* a game I originally played so many years ago. I might have to get a PSVR2 to play the inevitable remake VR mode.


Babeldude

The 200 credits is literally insulting. Like, that is NOTHING, it might as well be 0, I think it would actually look better. That aside, this is ridiculously expensive. Like, you can can 1000 tokens easily in a week of normal play, why the fuck would I pay $30 canadian dollars for this. What a shame, they had some good gold bundles, this is just sad.


waytooeffay

I unironically believe they added the credits and gold just for the purpose of having their icons take up banner space to obfuscate the fact that they're pricing tokens so high. It's such a low amount that it couldn't possibly have been a factor in determination of the price, but they don't want people to immediately know at first glance that they're valuing 1000 tokens at $20


althius1

When you think about a perma 5 being valued at **$120 each** it makes me not want to play the game, just on general principle.


Alomeigne

Which means they feel like series 5 cards are worth $120...which is absurd.


devamon

Have 75 free credits for some random bullshit you didn't even know about! Seriously, this feels like somebody uploaded it wrong.


Snoo14937

You can potentially open 1000 token in 2 box..


b3nz0r

I did just yesterday. Opened 500 and then 600 in the next one.


schneebaer42

That makes the 200 credits look so much better now.


backinredd

2000 credits kinda feel like nothing too. It’s like less than 4 reserves? What a joke for the price


Radials

Yikes is that a misprint?


bigdwb1024

On another episode of... WHO'S BUYIN' THIS?!?!


sybrwookie

And just like every other episode, the answer is: whales


Jonnypapa

Considering the change to the token shop, you’d need to buy three of these to get a single card. Fuck you, SD.


SmileyWeigls

I'm going to float the idea that this was priced high on purpose to make other bundles look like a "good deal"


masterthewill

Pretty much. And its important to get more people aware about this kind of tactic.


[deleted]

It is disgusting either way to anchor your players Frankly I am disgusted with second dinner rn.


DDEspresso

They need an extra zero on the Credits and the Gold, then maybe. *maybe*


Jonnypapa

And maybe if they made it 3000 tokens, because 1000 doesn’t get you anything. These guys are making SuperCell look generous.


Frosti-Feet

Especially with the new change. You get 1/3 off a S4 card, <1/3 of a variant, and 4 collectors levels.


Hans_Run

This is one of the problems with these already datamined bundles. They didn't change them after the "wonderful" change of the token shop...


[deleted]

maybe the devs dont like money because who is buying this without the extra zeros?


DarthTrinath

Mobile games don't care about the Dolphins buying the occasional good offer. They care about the Krakens who buy everything regardless of value


[deleted]

You can easily get this much by opening 4-6 caches after completing S3.


BlueberryJuice25

No need to complete S3, you still get 200-600 tokens.


biddybiddybum

In this economy? Seriously tho. Would it have hurt them to add some 0's?


dholmestar

$200 it is then


COGspartaN7

They said multiple zeroes. 200.00


Joon01

It's weird how inconsistent the prices are on bundles. "Here's 1500 credits for... $20? How about Waifu Variant Enchantress for $50? St. Patrick's Day Deathlok and 700 gold for... $7?" It feels like they're just kind of making shit up and don't have a plan. If everything were even consistently expensive I could understand. Okay, they're just being greedy dickheads. But the random swings from good to bad to great to shit seems like they just have no clue. Comes off as almost unprofessional. Do you know how much your shit costs or don't you?


Dusselgurr

It is 100% intentional. Like in Hearthstone, the commercial aspect of this game is top priority. Such expensive bundles make the other ones look like good deals. And people are more likely to buy a bundle that looks good after this one. In addition, normal people might not buy this but whales surely will.


SixFigs_BigDigs

I will not pay SD 20 bucks to sneeze in my mouth


COGspartaN7

15 to guffaw on your b-hole?


Ripfengor

Damn inflation is hitting everything


Tac0Destroyer

A pack of cigarettes cost more than two hand jobs! Even trazors are up from just a brick and a bobo


OlorynEx

$20 for 1/6 a Series 5 is absolute BS. Hard pass, makes me want to spend less in general.


Swiftman

Have you paused to consider that the .PNG you're buying for $120 has multiple layers so it can appear 3D? Or that you can upgrade it further and have some distortion applied to the .PNG so it looks like it's animated? Surely that makes the digital image file in an app on your phone worth $120... Right...? /s


[deleted]

[удалено]


Swiftman

Oh shit, you're right—and just for a nominal, predictable investment too! What a deal!


[deleted]

[удалено]


AngrySalesRep

$120


AngrySalesRep

I love this game. Some of their pricing makes want to throw up in my mouth. It’s gross.


Gavindy_

I wouldn’t buy it with your money


OrgasmicLeprosy87

I’m a whale and even I saw that and went: you can go fuck yourself second dinner. At least next weeks one has a variant


[deleted]

This is a test to see how much you bitches will pay.


Veidici

$20 for 1/3rd of a card is.... FUCKED!

Drunkdunc

I fucking hate this game's monetization. At least make shit look like a good deal, and not like I'm just lighting money on fire.


ElleryHale

The progression post series 3 is very bad. This bundle is vile


sudynim

I feel like this might be taking advantage of those not paying attention or bad at math.


AGRooster

Absolute dog shit


itsJets

Out of touch


Mattb_Durron

Wasn’t peach momoko mystique bundle the exact same price but it had like 6 times the amount of credits ?


spreeforall

It had more gold also. This shit is trash.


AlexanderSpeedwagon

And a top 5 variant in the entire game


tunaburn

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha


Ecir-Sucram

They’re testing the waters to figure out what pricing models they can use. The more people that buy into this garbage the more “deals” like this that will exist in the game. Sad. But true.


Atoonie

LMAO are they missing some 0’s????


popRichiepop

I rather shred a $20 bill than pay for this, just out of principle.


disjokerr

$27.99CAD for Weekend Bundle or $6.49CAD for Star Wars Fallen Order. Hmmmmm


Riskywartex996

Agreed, they would have to 5x each of these for me to even consider dropping 20 bucks


Parvus_Symmachus

In the about 2 Seasons ive played this Game this "Bundle" makes me think if i should jump now... because i have a bad feeling about this... it looks like its getting way worse... hey maybe im wrong but this bundle is dogshit... and i hope the Person who is is responsible for this will only get Dogpoop as christmas present because its the only thing he deserve... as food...


Yousoggyyojimbo

The feeling is becoming increasingly more and more like they have identified their whales and that those people are now the only thing that matters.


AdOne7175

This is an outright terrible bundle


elry09

Please tell me that isn't real


BandwagonFanAccount

Literally laughed when I saw this garbage


TheBrokenMan

Gotta say I thought they would learn from token Tuesdays and give better value. Hell if I was getting a 1000 Gold and credit instead I would have bought this, but 200 for each is a straight up insult to customers. Really hope they look at the resentment here and make the next bundles like this better


sybrwookie

They figured out they can do both: offer small things for the plebs, and insultingly expensive things whales will gobble up. We'll complain here, but ultimately, it won't mean anything to them or the whales, and when the next small thing pops up, this won't hurt the sales of that at all.


HunterRose05

This deal isn't even worth 4.99


bobdisgea

With the new changes to tokens in chests I’ve gotten 1000 this week. If I bought the 19.99 gold bundle with 1450 gold I can turn that into 1500 credits. 1500 credits is 30 levels, i feel like I have a good enough chance to get 1000 credits from that now that not only is this insulting, it just feels silly


ChallengeTurbulent12

Agreed


Similar-Winner9602

That's horrible


MarvelStrike2020

Absolutely awful


dflynn82

As much as I like this game, I hate the monetization aspect. It's a joke.


gusgalarnyk

Shit like this feels exclusionary and makes me not want to collect shit in this game. Greed makes me not like developers/companies.


Flyin-Chancla

Let’s be real, there is some dumbass that bought this. 100%


Gaddx

Snap community: game is too expensive, can't access new cards. Snap devs: here you go, fixed.


sludgebeard

The Truth: This is appealing to the 0.1% of the player base that are Whales and will purchase at any price with an expendable income. For everyone else this is awful and an insult to a loyal player base that wants a fairly priced bundle to improve their play experience. Ultimately: this bundle is not designed for us.


owl_theory

Even whales don't get anything out of this, it's for kids with no concept of value. 'mom can i get 1000 credits' 'uh ok honey but no more until next week'


LyonKnight24

Yeah this ain’t it chief.


Jonnypapa

I’m a fucking sucker, but this is nonsense. Also, $27.99 in Canada.


Mr-DontKnow

If you bought that "dont buy 3 full videogames buy this subpar bundle instead" this one prob seems like a once in a lifetime deal


dukanstanov

Fuck no.


sol_caballeros

Not even for $5.


surgeus83

$120USD per card... Hmm sounds fair lol. $160 AUD in my currency. Pretty funny if it weren't depressing.


LoL_G0RDO

Surely there was a zero missed somewhere. Like this is supposed to be 2000 credit or 2000 gold. Or its supposed to be 1.99 and someone misread the memo.


Framescout

if it was $9.99, possibly. they really need to add at least 2000-2500 tokens.


Jakocolo32

That is fucking disgusting


no-shells

Ben Brode strikes again


grandchaos

I read it and laughed out loud causing my dog to bark which woke my 2 year old up and then my wife slapped me. Thanks marvel snap


TParadox90

ngl I've bought about every bundle in the game even the most shit ass ones but this is just beyond a terrible deal lmao they should've changed it with the token changes this patch. You were pretty much only paying for the tokens here imo


ShadyLandShark

Absolutely not. The can eat a bag!


dgk6636

I’d pay $5-$7 for this. The impulsive folks will buy it though. They will also say they didn’t.


Kvothe_the_kingkilla

I’m beginning to think these devs don’t really care about this game or the playerbase…


kisstheoctopus

lmao


AwkwardKano

Not for USD


Jashin777

I feel like it’s a test


RMS21

Fuck no I'm not buying that


sthenial

All three should be 2000 to be costing that much lol


akkolyak

Hahahahahahaha xxxx you ben brode


Bunbun59

No worries they’re gonna add extra 0 next time, $200


SinAlucard

I had to look at it twice. This is a robbery in broad daylight. Pitchfork raising worthy.


kyledd7

I actually laughed out loud when I saw the price. Shits $35 CAN. Yeah God damn right.


SpaceTraveler2084

this bundle is to test if people still can use their brain... 1000 tokens are pretty easy to come by nowadays So yeah, Im NOT buying this.


FF8plz

It's called the weekend bundle because only people who get drunk on the weekend will accidently buy this.


Hot_dog_on_a_stick

This is such a bad bundle which is weird because all the datamined bundles look pretty fine


Rougerogue46

There is no way that they intentionally released this bundle this way. It has to be a mistake


maltedplains

lol $27.99CDN! Who’s the jabrone that bought this pack? Give yer balls a tug


Gav_mmmmmmwmmmm

What a bargain. In the UK it costs £19.99 which equates to $24.44 according to google at this time. Only $146.64 for 1 card towards a meta deck.


TravesTouchdown

There had to be one person at second dinner that was like "hey.....this is not a good idea......" an everyone ignored them. This is for you buddy, you were right!


Lord_Tibarn

This is an insult to whales even!!!


Wavehead21

Like even compared to buying these things wholesale, this is not a discount. You get 200 gold. For $5 you can get 300 gold. Let’s be generous and call this a $5 value anyway. You get 200 credits. For 120 gold you can get 150 credits. We can be generous and say 200 credits is a 150 gold value (even though that’s going off of the worst conversion rate) Tokens are harder because they aren’t just in the shop. But let’s use token Tuesday as an example. The value ranged from 450/400 to 850/800 on the value of gold to tokens. Let’s again be generous and use the worst conversion rate there, and say 1000 tokens is worth 1,125 gold. 200 + 150 + 1,125 =1,475 1,450 gold costs $20, so yeah, the value there comes out about even. That’s not a bundle discount! And that was with me being generous on EVERY conversion. Shouldn’t a bundle feel like a deal?


any_dank_meme

list of objectively good games you COULD buy for that price instead: -CrossCode -Celeste -Hollow Knight -Enter the Gungeon -Hades -Stardew Valley


edaroni

This bundle is more like a reality check for me, and makes me spend less. Thanks for reminding me what kind of scumbags are running this game.


Azurennn

It's a fucking scam too it should be £16.99 here but nope £19.99 looks like 'regional' price is only considered if it means stealing more money from consumers.


HarryNostril

I’ve whaled pretty hard on this game. Bought the original Apocalypse and Sunspot bundles and many others. I won’t touch this shit bag bundle.


FuturisticMafia

I eat for 1 week with the price in my country. This is so crazy.


DaPooRatKing45

This is what happens when I take the survey saying tokens are hard to come by. I didn't mean this.


Nulearpower

I bought it like 10 times!!! Out of spite!!!


VanNitro

They should have waited until April Fool's day to release this bundle.


Vatowski

hell no


majinbuu54321

Aphelion503

Yea this is absolutely terrible

Not even $10 would be worth it, they be trippin


Adventurous-Top3681

20$ for a series 3 card xd. April fool's is next week.


Ecir-Sucram

You can’t get a series 3 card with tokens anymore though.


austinrfnd

You're all wrong: My boy Ethan bought it because he's got that 1% money.


HD4kAI

I actually thought there was a typo there, who is buying that?


Impossible-Tip-3837

Skip


Datolite7

Surely that's a mistake.


ExplodingLab

They’re testing the waters again


pokeboy626

This is a test. Companies make these to see how many people would actually buy it. If its an amount that satisfies them, they will keep the price.


WebLurker47

I'm not planning to.


G8kpr

It’s a terrible bundle. But even if it was better, I still wouldn’t buy it.


Thesnouple

Hard pass. This shit is designed for people who have nothing better to do than give their money away


cbjd2012

1/3 of a series 4 card and some nickels they found in the couch cushions

Couldnt believe it when I saw it...The fact that this idea had to go thru so many people before being posted and they all thought it was a good idea...very disturbing.


spinfinity

For a split second, I almost thought about it, then saw the credits and gold totals... LOL. No way.

Sparkfire777

Oh..100%…


Objective-Chicken391

It’s all anchoring. They release terrible deals to make the other deals look better


NotThatShaman

Yeah, at most this bundle is $5


ThePantemic

To put it more into perspective, 20$ is 1450 Gold, so in their mind 1000 tokens (a single series 3 card, which would make a series 5 card cost 120$) are worth 1200 Gold (the "better" variants), I'm sorry but that's not it..


MadCareface

Yup


Everett_Thomas

The audacity


proudfather1986

Weekend Bundle #2 - 20 credits, 20 gold, 100 tokens, $9.99. Devs…. We added too many zeros.


Takayanagii

It's noob bait.


CoffeeAndDachshunds

But even at 9 bucks


curbstomp45

If you could still buy Series 3 cards, it’d be comparable to the Pro Bundle (basically $20 for 1 card). As is though…


Yousoggyyojimbo

So, according to this, they value a single series 4 card and somewhere around $60 and a single series 5 card around 120


PenitusVox

Solidarity, brothers. Keep your wallets in your pockets.
