It’s clear that the Smite community is in quite a tizzy on the subject of in-game cosmetic purchases and the transition from Smite 1 to Smite 2. A post by user “Datju” illuminates the various concerns and sentiments within the community, giving a deep-dive into why this topic has sparked intense debate.
The Frustration of Non-transferrable Purchases
The introduction of Smite 2 has, understandably, ruffled a few feathers amongst the community. Datju points out that money spent on Smite 1 being non-transferrable to the sequel feels like a massive slap in the face, especially for those who’ve heavily invested. On this subject, liberletirc states, “People want stuff for free that isn’t free to make.”
Excitement for Forward Progress
Despite the valid frustrations, it’s refreshing to note there are community members excited about the change. This venture forward is seen as a fantastic move for the future longevity of the game. Efficient-Bumblebee8 says, “I hope they don’t port a single skin, and smite 2 will have more players than smite 1, done deal.”
Realistic Acceptance of Change
Dataju’s post also brings to light a more pragmatic approach to the change. Some point out that while the shift is annoying, it’s a necessity. OzymandiasTheII argues, “If you bought skins in a live service game, you ultimately made a choice to throw a little money away for some personal satisfaction. If Smite died tomorrow, I guarantee you would never see your Skins again.”
Well, it looks like the Smite community is sailing on a ship of mixed emotions. It’s fascinating to see how different individuals rationalize their frustrations while others see the silver lining. Let’s not forget, amidst the debate on skins and digital purchases, at the end of the day, the move to Smite 2 ensures we continue the thrill of playing this game we love. Now, if they’d just bring back some of those classic skins…
