That's not valid criticism. That's just bitterness. And calling someone out on it isn't pedantry. The OP's complaint is just completely baseless nonsense.

To each their own. For me their wording about this fantastic

holiday bonanza!

and offering it as part of their

Festivities holiday sale

just made the whole thing ridiculous why i called it their Christmas "Gift" to us players.

your very clear implication is that you are outraged and mocking cg's idea of a "Gift" to the players. The only problem is they never said it was a gift. At all. Anywhere. So even if your quotations can technically be seen as showing that you aren't saying they actually said it's a gift, where does that leave us? What was the point of the thread if not to mock cg's alleged idea of a gift? Which is, of course, what you just said. How "ridiculous" it is to label a sale "Holiday" or "Festive," right?

Also, they have given us nice christmas/holiday gifts in the past iirc, which makes your thread make even less sense. "Hey man, thanks for nothing! These are just offers to buy instead of the free stuff I want...that you will give us later." SO...

Not to mention the fact that good packs are a benefit (a gift, if you will lol) to players, much like good deals are a benefit to other types of consumers. There's a reason people shop at sales, savvy?

The whole thread is about how they managed it to make their message sound like it is a "gift" (no quote, sarcasm!) to make these offers to the playerbase, almost like they blessed us with their generosity to allow us to buy more packs.
These guys understood all of it:

"Send us money!! Merry Christmas!!" :D

Only CG...

"As a gift to our loyal playerbase, we allow you to buy more packs for a (probably not) reasonable price. We hope that you haven't bought presents for your kids yet coz our stakeholders need them much more. Enjoy!"
