I went to Macy's for the holiday sale and they wanted money for stuff!

Being pedantic is not the same as being intelligent

And using a word doesn't mean you understand its meaning. Haha. Good show.

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.

What can I get for my money? Gameplay? Fun? Content?
Or just some digital numbers again?

Well, if you put 5 of your best characters to r7, they will be eliminated not in the first turn, but in second in LS Geonosis. Definitely worth 100+$! CG consider it ‘fun’.
Whale harder!

Really not worthy of ridicule. Go to your nearest mall right now and I'm sure you'll see all sorts of blowouts and extravaganzas and celebrations and bonanzas that are all sales to push product.

You're getting on their case over the fact they use marketing speech to market their holiday sale during the holidays.

Seriously?

There will almost certainly be a Christmas bonus. Just because this specific single announcement is not about whatever that bonus will be doesn't mean it's not happening. Drop the tunnel vision and chill with the entitlement complex.

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:

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!"

You're upset because you feel that CG implied the thing that many retailers explicitly state during holiday sales? Oh my.

The thread is not about any real gifts from CG.
The thread is not about getting mad for not getting any gifts.
The thread is not about asking for any gifts.
In fact it has nothing to do with any gifts at all from the past, for now, or in future. It is about how CG managed to make it look and sound like the packs are gifts to the people. This and only this. If you don't get it now i'm unable to help you understand.

Just because your joke is both bad, unfunny, and unfair does not mean other people don't get it.

It's just a bad joke.

They already gave us a gift... They are running a ton of events during Christmas week... Second running of all fleet mastery events, many of the assault battles, they just did credit heist yesterday and per the bots, the next credit heist is Monday again.

I'm happy with what cg is giving us for free already, why complain about them selling us more stuff?
