Mike Frazzini, a longtime Amazon.com Inc. employee who helped start Amazon Game Studios, is stepping down. The executive told staff Friday he was leaving to focus on his family, said Amazon spokesman Ryan Jones.

They won’t be able to sell founders pack skins if they released other skins at launch

Imagine how many players wasted money on Omen skins (got two T_T).
We don’t really know if the profits would have been larger long term with faster release schedule.

Cosmetics are directly related to FOMO, they will keep releasing one skin per time and with a big interval between them :smiley:

Raise your hand if you know the difference between active and concurrent players.

Imagine people thinking this game has less than 1.3m players.

They got a promotion to another department. You fail upwards in corporate america.

Imagine thinking about video games instead of making the world a better place

Imagine suggesting to make the world a better place while you are reading a forum about a video game and doing nothing yourself.

Because no one knows which guy is making the call for skin release.

I’m also in awe that such a genius individual is actually in an empowered position to have the radical ideas such as “it’s better to use skins as FOMO element to keep the game float” instead of selling multiple expensive skins to millions of whales and tourists when they were around.

I mean, yea we joke that Frazzini got fired for not releasing skins, but clearly there is still someone there in the high chair that believes his ideas are good because they’re still not releasing skins. Sorceress, Striker, Gunslinger, Paladin, and as of tomorrow, Lance Master, are the only ones with ‘exclusive’ skins in the shop right now.

They could have used this update to also release ‘exclusive’ skins for the other classes, like Scrapper, Wardancer, Shadowhunter, Deathblade, etc. Instead, newp. Nah.

The community will be aight with dapper suits and an exclusive skin for the new class. Nevermind that they’re other classes that have been in game since release that still have no access to an ‘exclusive’ skin selection.

And all this while certain CM’s try and use the argument that they’re trying to avoid a situation where players get upset over the skin situation because certain skins are not available for all available classes in game…While the disparity is very much already existing in their choice to give certain classes ‘exclusive’ skins and others nothing.

Ah yes, the classic play of “we believe that players only want skins that are available for all classes in game”, followed with a “it takes tremendous amount of time to rig old skins for all the new classes”, and then finished with a “we do not have a development team (or any game developers) from Amazon Games that work on Lost Ark, just publishing staff”.

And an after-credit scene that shows Amazon releasing a skin that’s already available for all classes from the beginning in KR.

Huh, that’s weird. When I got to the end of your statement reading about the after credits, the Curb your Enthusiasm end credit theme played in my head.

Odd that.

I think they only drip feed us 1 skin at a time so players are more likely to buy it even if they dont like the skin because there isnt much customizations in the game right now. I hate the Ark pass skin but i might just end up buying it cause there’s nothing else.

Im big spender on cosmetics in every game i play, i spend 0$ on cosmetics in LA so far and neither spend this patch, so i guess, it’s working as intended?
