I don’t understand why anyone buys things like this. Paid emotes?? Who cares? I guess I understand children who just ask their parents, but who else would actually pay money for this stuff? I happily pay for DLC like expansion packs or other content added after the initial launch of the game, but I don’t think I’ll ever pay for emojis, in a game or anywhere else.
- drak0n1c 4y agoIt's the collector mindset. When someone is very interested in a particular niche, he or she may have a nagging feeling of an incomplete experience if a particular version of literature is missing from their shelf, or a rendition of art/music, or a trivial piece of their favorite game. It's irrational, but very human. There's also the patron mindset - some want to feel like they are maximizing their financial support for a particular creator or shop and any trinkets they receive in return become a form of public prestige dressing - like philanthropists having their names on a supporter wall.

- Nexxxeh 4y agoIt's just a fun form of paid cosmetics, which are the same as most things that are cosmetic. Some people want them for their aesthetics, some people want them as a status symbol, some people just wanna collect stuff. Also some people will want to support the development of their favourite game, and in return they get a token that provides no advantages in game (to avoid "Pay to Win".)
