𝐇𝐎𝐔𝐒𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐈𝐓𝐄𝐌 𝐏𝐑𝐈𝐂𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐈𝐒 𝐎𝐔𝐓 𝐎𝐅 𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐓𝐑𝐎𝐋 Despite major pushback from the player base, Blizzard has released another exorbitantly priced player housing item in the in-game shop. The Cozy Treehouse Retreat will set you back $75 USD.

Man. Until we stop giving companies money they just won’t stop. We are the problem

I just want arcane mage to be fun again 😭

Why do people care about this so much? It's just an optional cosmetic item.

You know the great thing about this? You don't have to pay for it if you don't want to!

Because WOW is full of:

Here we go again.

Continuing the trend 🤣

75????? Hollllyyyyy They are really trying to sick their new LGBTQLMNRP peoples dry

Can't afford house irl, can't afford house in game :(

Lmao $75 for a tree house. They've completely lost it.

Nope.

I don't think I've gone to my plot more than twice since the launch of midnight. Thats not my gaming focus. I have a shit ton of alts (9 90's now) and I would rather drop 50 dollars on tokens for gold than on housing. js.

There is absolutely no reason for why a microtransaction in a game should be above $1. Now I don't want them in any game at all, but if you need to be a dick, at least represent your own instead of compensating by being a big dick.

Only poor people complain about 75 bucks lol

This was always the plan from their side. Let's be real. "Player pushback" doesnt mean people will actually quit over it meaning it wont hurt their bottom line, so they will keep doing this.

People who don’t own houses irl will unironically go wild for this.

They stopped listening to their player base years ago.

The game we already pay a monthly sub for, don't forget that part.

It doesn’t matter if 500 people complain on X, if another 500 buy it, they likely made back most of the money, and you can bet more than 500 people will buy this

Wouldn't they probably make way more pricing it like $20 and getting way more people to buy it? Paying past the price of a full game for a cosmetic prolly is a big no-no for a big part of the playerbase.

The only push back that will matter is not buying it.

It looks nice I certainly won’t be buying it but I also don’t care what others do with their own money.

You know why they make virtual $75 housing things? Because players will buy it.

These houses are so expensive Blackrock and Fannie Mae are underwriting their mortgages.

The fact that it's more expensive than a whole expansion... for that price we got 4 new zones, why would a single house be so expensive? They might as well spit on us, it would be the same thing...

i dont mind spending $ on the game but the price point for a few items is crazy when a sims 4 xpac costs $40 and you get double the items + gameplay features. i just think it’s a rip off.

@IndieFalco64 75$ is crazy

wait until they find out ESO sells houses for $100+

Thats cause blizzard is based off in Irvine, where rents are minimum 4.5k (I used to work as a GM at blizzard, dunno how you can afford a 4.5k rent in irvine on 35 dollars an hour xD The utility bills is what kills it) and houses are unaffordable for most. They copying rael life

Is the major pushback in the room with us?

@Blizzard_Ent @Warcraft just rised brazilian's subscription prices by 40~%, plus the service and items prices rises, all that without even a localized server, we got 180~200ms ping.... Best timing on annoucing it too, right after the broken patch.....

The fact I'm not given hearthsteel for free every month for paying my subscription is insane. If they want to add all these stupid shop items, make your game free to play. Clearly they aren't going to give us good shit for free anymore. $15 a month to get shit on.

Globber it up losers. Retail has been the same 💩 since Legion, just different color.
