Wish we got Promotions like this

Eh. Ideally the things for the game are available through the game – not from pizza.

Pure advertisement and marketing? Cool, but that’s not what this is.

This is one of those deals that Blizzard have done a few of recently. KFC, Amazon, Pizza Hut. It’s all the same. We’re the commodity – us, the players – that Blizzard offers the other company in return for money and/or advertisement. And Blizzard can “sell us” through some promotional item that all but guarantees new customers for KFC, Amazon, or now Pizza Hut.

Like I said, that’s not consumer friendly and it’s not desirable.

That being said, I think all the advertisement and marketing in China is handled by NetEase. They operate WoW in China after all, and I assume that extends to this as well.

do you think wow players would mind that? xdd Puny is literally begging them to milk community even more.

I mean it would be pretty wicked to eat low quality food just to get an amazing keychain and dope 5 cent mousepad :+1:

I heard there was a TCG code hidden inside that pizza.

No Puny is not literally begging.

Puny commented that we rarely see promotions like this in the EU, and that it would be nice to sometimes get these kinds of things.

Like you want to be outraged by these kinds of promotions, be my guest but don’t make up stuff about me. Enough with the hyperboles already.

No thanks.
I really don’t want to be lured with shiny “gifts” to buy things I don’t want anymore than I already am.
The world got enough hyperconsumerism as it is.

Even if true that seems like a massive one off.

I love pizza hut.
I would recommend it to everyone because who doesnt want pizza in their life? :smiley:

Man I really want that stuff, and I already order far too much as it is as an alone-living apprentice in the big city. I want free stuff! :dracthyr_comfy_bronze:

I really wish companies stopped doing this.
Because all of these promotions are nothing more than moneygrabs and in 90% of the cases:

  • Extremely poorly organised
  • Artificial scarcety
  • promotes FOMO with unhealthy stuff
  • Not available to like 80% of the player base.

FFXIV did the same this month with a bubble-tea company.
Who has a presence in a select few countries in Europe.
And even in those countries, not all stores participate.

So no, please stop with this kind of crap and organise actual, proper ingame events for your players.

…more pineapple on my pizza please! :dracthyr_hehe_animated:

34

That only happens if the promoters actually like eachother and not just in it for the money.

One of the Swedes on my discord is currently called Banana Pizza :banana:

:dracthyr_hehe_animated:

I wanted to try that pizza last time in Sweden, but couldn’t find the restaurant near the convention that had it…

Definitely going for it next year :dracthyr_hehe_animated:

we don’t even have a pizza hut so no thx

For me these sort of things work out as getting two things together that that are worse than versions I can buy separately, despite costing more money.

I can walk to the shop near my house and buy a za for a fiver then go home and spend £17 on a transmog from the store.

I dont like any promo’s outside of Blizzards games. Ill play a match of Hearthstone, reach level 10 in Diablo or win a game in Overwatch, if thats what it takes to get some limited time goodies, but im not buying any pizza or burgers or amazon prime subs, no thank you. The only outside promo’s i would concider would be charity or small local business, not billion dollar companies and chain restaurants.
