VIP gift

BigpredfanBigpredfan Registered Users 3,306 Posts
anyone else a little bummed with the VIP gift this month?  Here is what I got

10 bonus games- I have 946 now so these were worthless
5-star Judge at 284 max 3 times- my weakest outfielder is 325 max so this was also worthless
10,000 XP- 50,000 less than last month’s gift

this feels like this week’s walk-off being a 264 max player after having primes as the players to win

    It was rather weak as far as the xp goes compared to previous ones. Was hoping for something more but oh well. I guess it is what it is.

    I am excited to see what players other than Mantle the have secured the rights to as they mentioned in the newsletter. Is there a shoeless joe or babe in there somewhere perhaps?

    Also, those of you with the newsletter. Make sure you don’t skip the club vs club part. You can give them feedback for 40,000 normal XP I believe

    I am just sad that @Bigpredfan 1st VIP reward wasn't what he expected. At 1st I thought they forgot to ad a zero to that prime XP.

    Chin up buddy. Maybe the next one will be epic. I was kinda bummed myself as well thinking vip of the month will get something more but it wasn't to be I guess.

    Its ok. They were cool and gave me the June gift Monday. I wasn’t expecting that so I’ll just have to count that as this month’s gift!

    The newsletter did mention something about them working on what players have been wanting for years. Hopefully it's you bringing your team to the next release?

    That’s probably just for being VIP of the month. I don’t have this gift even though it is awesome!

    I had a guy in my club get the hat and shirt as well. Not sure if they send them to all VIP’s though.

    But all jokes aside what we should all realise is that GLU is in the business of making money for their investors as it is a business after all. Whatever changes they make or structure they set up is geared up towards that purpose and while some of us may disagree with those changes, they are what they are.

    If they were not successful in making money they could not offer what they already do. Licensing all these players costs a good chunk of $$$ so they have to structure the app so that they can do this and still show a profit after all other expenses are taken care of. Long gone are the days of us just paying $5 or $10 to unlock a full version of an app and this is the norm for most apps now and most of us know it. Would I like better odds than 2.5% when buying a Prime or Legend box? Sure but then everybody would get them and stop spending money which means the game could not get supported as well as it does (all glitches and such aside).

    I downloaded this version being fully aware of how much I spent on it in 2017 and knowing that I would probably spend as much, if not more, this year. Some see it as a money grab and wasted investment but if you have played previous versions then you can't honestly say that as you know in advance what to expect. There had been talks on different social media platforms of boycotts and such and I never took part in those discussions as I would get a lot of hateful replies to my comments because most don't want to consider the fact that GLU needs to make money in order to offer us a better game.

    Even their CEO, Nick Earl, mentioned TSB 18 in their 1st quarter release report/conference attributing this app to their good earnings. Just keep in mind that if GLU wasn't making money off of this game then they couldn't license all the players that we love to get so the Mickey Mantle Legend they have teased us with could be called "Mighty Mantis" just like some old unlicensed platform games that those of us that are old enough used to play. Now how fun would that be?

    Also some have been unhappy with all the glitches and things that were clearly GLU's fault. In my experience GLU has always taken care of me when I brought these to their attention and there are so many instances of them making it up to me that I have never shared as honestly I knew it would flood them with requests, some valid and others not as much, for the same treatment and eventually leading to negative comments about them. Again some of the comments could be valid and some not as much.

    Sorry for the long post but I just wanted to share my opinion/position on the matter and for those that may think I am saying all this just because GLU made me vip of the month then please note that it only meant a mention in the newsletter with no special gifts and the honorary status will be forgotten in a couple of days. They did offer me a chance of going to a VIP focus group on their dime in October though so obviously they do care about improving the game based on user inputs. Now whether I get picked for it or not is anybody's guess.

    Sincerely,

    Had-my-15-minutes-of-fame
