You can’t directly buy season passes with money but with the game’s currency silver & they’ve increased the price to 1200 & you (obviously) can’t directly buy 1200 silver, fascinating approach to greed.
Before It was due to Activision/greed so Is this approach the Sony version or Bungie?
Just going to C/P what someone said regarding this on Reddit, Currency distancing.
“Using this virtual currency has a few major effects, In the short term, you can boost revenue by making the increments players can buy your currency in bigger than most things they’ll want to buy. For example, sell 500 silver as the minimum but make the popular items cost 300 or 700 silver. While this is common practice, designers must be cautious or players will feel exploited and you’ll get a lot of bad press.”
“Second, it makes players feel like they haven’t spent money at all. If you see fake currency going down every time you buy something from Eververse, you don’t feel the pain of losing real money because there’s an extra step involved. This is key to retention because players will drop the game once they start feeling bad about their spending habits.”
In my opinion, Gaming companies should NOT be allowed to have this form of currency exchange on their games, give me the exact cost. Getting really tired of the amount of mental gymnastics companies pull on the consumer with this psychology bullshit. “Bungie Used Behavioral Psychology to Make Destiny Appealing” Disgusting.
