Riot put the 250 price tag on the skin, then intentionally made that bug so people would think they could get it for ONLY 72. They planned it all along, It’s genius
i mean the whole game is free, all the skins are optional and you an easily get skins, not spending a cent, if it was forced i would say they are greedy, but it's more people who by them are dumb

Yeah, but at least doing it you would have also unlocked the other arcane skins + a decent amount of ME. So funnily enough with the bug it was somewhat fair!
@@Yue_Jin The latest ones yes, but used to be that an ultimate skin was when Riot needed to code entirely new tech in the game to make it work.

Imagine paying more than a full AAA games worth + extra for a single skin, and then still having riot potentially banning you for not giving them enough money.
Imagine that: they fcked up and you get the skin over one hundred dollars cheaper and it is still more expensive than two ultimate skins combined, a couple month agos ultimate skins were the most expensive skins that you can buy for rp, thats just so fcked up
I have a theory that Riot ON PURPOSE let this "bug" happen, so people would all go and "Hehehehe I'm buying the 250 skin for cheaper, look how smart I am" When those same people would not spent a single whatever your money is, into this, truly, a masterfull move, congratulations riot.
Don't worry guys, this is just the alpha version. After a few patches they will reduce the drops you get, reduce the worth of said drops, probably increase the price of rolls, and give you a free icon as a reward.
Ah yes Riot "accidentally" released a bug that let's you get the "$250" skin for just $72 even though it's worth like $20 at most. One of the accidents of all time
The thing is, people think they're smart because they got the 250$ skin for 72$ instead. You still spend 72$ on a SINGLE skin and yes, you get more stuff but it's still a lot of money.
Ok I do not agree with the model, and I’ve never bought a single rp point but what you get from 80 draws for 72$ is not that awfull. Its 8 arcane skins The 1 Jinx fractured skin And around 3-5 mythic essecence on avarage every pull, giving you an extra 200-300 mythic essence. Based on me suspecting you can get the mythic essence drops multiple times, which might be wrong, in which case its more like 50-100 mythic essence and a bunch of icons.
I mean this is a great precedent to set to build up FOMO on buying these types of skins as soon as they come out, since *maybe* they'll be bugged and drop easier.
Could you make a video/deep dive on Mark Sottosanti, the chief financial officer and VP revenue and insights at Riot Games? He is the one responsible for the outrageous monetizations of the game since 2021.
The $500 Ahri skin happened, people meme'd about it but enough people bought it. So here we are, Riot now knows they can get away with this shit and make profit.
this was on purpose probably... they get a ton of people who find out and spread the word which in turn acts as FOMO and people who wouldn't normally buy it now see it as a firesale for fractions of the price if they hit pity.
Back when the debonair event happened something similar occured where if you'd buy a bundle lf orbs the client would just give you an error and not charge you anything but funnily enough still give you everything included in the bundle so some people got hundreds of orbs for free
@@HubertoserFr even in my head I read it in a sarcastic tone. You're so desperate to go around correcting people that you tried to correct sarcasm. Do better.
@@justinbieber8270 I'd say $10-15 for a more advanced skin is pretty fair. A regular skin should be like $3-5. Then they'd be what I'd consider a microtransaction. $72 is a tenth of my rent + loan. I'd rather pay off my loan faster.
@@sentro5382 not that expensive if you count all the ME, Arcane skins you can get every ten pulls, it's around 100$ for jinx, lot of ME, some of the arcane skins
it's intended. "look! it's a hack to get it cheaper" it's a trap actually. XD those who don't even think of buying will now be compelled to buy because of this.
Na bro this not a bug. Probably riot did it on purpose for the players to think "omg I'm breaking the System I have to abuse it and buy before they fix this" $72 is STILL NOT WORTH IT
Welcome in times, where buying virtual skin for 72$ instead of 250$ is considered exploit and good deal to abuse. Funny, isn't it? In my times it was considered psychological trick to make you into buying something.But I am not sure, they even fixed it. Tbh they would have made more money keeping it and peopel would be happy to abuse bug while giving RIOT 72$.
The thing is you don't get only jinx, but also all the other rewards : The 3 1350RP skins, the legendary Viktor, chromas and mythic essences. With $72, you're closer to the real price than with 250 for sure.
I love the fact that this happened 1 time with the debonair orbs that came out a few years ago. I was able to buy like, 28 orbs, when I only had the rp for around 10 lmao
People not realising Riot planned the whole thing. This was just a discount for a few hours, maybe less. A lot of people who wouldn't spend 250 but was ok with 72 already worth it for Rito.
If you buy all the other arcane skins you can roll for the other stuff after, then refund the arcane skims (it won't use a token if you don't use the skins)
Funny how riot even says skins have no monetary value in the their latest terms and conditions yet they try to convince people that these skins are worth putting so much money into
in riot's new ToS doesn't it say that you're purchasing a "license" for a skin whenever you buy it and they can take it away at any time with zero compensation..
people here are forgetting that with those 72$ you get the jinx skin, all 3 legendaries vi viktor and jayce, all the arcane skins caitlyn heimer ekko and vander and their chromas, a jinx banner , and more essence needed to buy a mythic skin, so just the legendary skins alone are 85 $ alone so yeah for 7 euro more u get a lot
Except you don't get all of that guaranteed. I had to hit pity to get the skin and I'm still missing the caitlyn chroma (might be missing something else)
Value is an abstract concept when it comes to the ''digital goods'' , so if it were 1000 dollars and people could buy it for 250 dollars because of a so called ''exploit'' they would have the same kind of reaction like with this video saying: 'Well we saved 750 dollars thanks to the exploit'. Naah my man, you just losed 250 dollars .
On the 9th of December 2021 the Patch 11.17 released and for the first ~15 minutes of it you were not being charged for orbs. Told all my friends about it, I got 98 orbs, most of them managed to get around 70-80 orbs. We got away with probably 600€ worth of RP for free. I've tried to look at any reddit posts or videos on it but nothing was ever reported I guess. Edit 1: Just saw a screenshot from that day, friend of mine had 565 skin shards at one point. Maybe it was way more than 600€ worth of RP lol Edit 2: None of us were banned, I assume no one will be banned in this case either
This could become a regular marketing stragety. Promoting way too Overpricing a product, to then allow a "cheat" where people can buy said product at a lower (yet still) overpriced cost. And it works!
It's still funny to me that so many people said 'Riot's greedy' for selling expensive skins. The game is literally free lol. You can play without spending a single cent. They even give some skins for free, and not common one, even legendary ones you can get from free loot boxes. Now when they try to sell skins people got mad and wants it all free. Yeah, who's the greedy now.
worst part is that they probably made a profit with this skin after 3 ppl bought it for 72€ and theres still thousands of ppl who went full whale on it.
Oh I remember that one time when it was possible to buy every skin for 1 RP because made an error while shipping the patch from PBE to live servers. They didn't make a rollback back then and the people got to keep their "free" Skins. If they are making a rollback this time, this would be some real bullshit.
Genius accidental marketing strat, making people think they’re beating the system by getting riots newest jinx skin for “only” 70$ lol, god I fear for the future of this game

its actually said how fast they'll fix something when it fucks with their money, but not when it comes to game community QoL and balancing.
Maybe that was Marketing thing just to make people who dont like the sistwn to abuse the "Glitch".
But its just Damage Control who knows
These people look at a 500$ TV and wait to see the price "Get lowered" from 750$ down to 500$ to buy it
This could become a regular marketing stragety. Promoting way too Overpricing a product, to then allow a "cheat" where people can buy said product at a lower (yet still) overpriced cost.
And it works!
70$ for a skin INSTEAD of 250$ is still a pretty fucking crazy statement ☠💀☠💀☠💀
It's still funny to me that so many people said 'Riot's greedy' for selling expensive skins. The game is literally free lol. You can play without spending a single cent. They even give some skins for free, and not common one, even legendary ones you can get from free loot boxes. Now when they try to sell skins people got mad and wants it all free. Yeah, who's the greedy now.
Remember everyone, everything is fixable, if it hurts the company's income enough.
worst part is that they probably made a profit with this skin after 3 ppl bought it for 72€ and theres still thousands of ppl who went full whale on it.
I was able to buy 40 of them and managed to get the skin in the first 10.
Oh I remember that one time when it was possible to buy every skin for 1 RP because made an error while shipping the patch from PBE to live servers.
They didn't make a rollback back then and the people got to keep their "free" Skins.
If they are making a rollback this time, this would be some real bullshit.
guys, remember when riot gave blood moon capsules for 1BE? u could even keep those
And there it lost its "exclusivity", for all those who bring that argument for the price debate
They probably did it on purpose since more people are likely to buy it if they think it’s an “exploit”
Genius accidental marketing strat, making people think they’re beating the system by getting riots newest jinx skin for “only” 70$ lol, god I fear for the future of this game
I noticed that problem on the pbe thought they would have patched it before it went live 💀
U can see the real scam mind when reading "pls dont buy it" on their own product cause its only 1/3 of the original Scam value
Saved money? No, you got finessed
XDDDDDDDDDDDD I love how when its about money Riot teleports to the scene faster than my dad left for milk, but when it's maintaining integrity of their competitive game, they sleep for a hundred years.
In before it's revealed Riot did this on purpose to get people to buy the skin who otherwise wouldn't have when they realized everyone hated it.
