Sorry but I only "shitstorm" on reasonable things and this case was perfectly justified. I agree that you get items from the shop worth of $200 + the card, but it doesn't change the fact that it forces people to actually spend those $200. Now, PPS isn't some super duper outstanding action game and $200 is ridicoulus amount of money (in this case) and here's why:
- This is just a fucking card, 4-5 images, not even high resolution...
- I haven't yet seen a game that costs $200. Even biggest productions are WAY cheaper.
- In any other F2P games with microtransactions, you can get TONS of stuff for $200 that is actually useful and/or looks amazing
- None of the companies I have dealt with (Game producers I mean), force people to spend x amount of money to get something for "free" when they are celebrating something, like Nutaku did in this case.
It's just few strong arguments I came up with on the fly, I'm sure there's more... So yeah, it was justified.
