""Fortnite” has fewer players overall than Riot Games’ “League of Legends,” but “Fortnite” players on PC are more than twice as likely to spend on in-game content as “LOL” players, SuperData says."

Wtf, League players?! This is simply unacceptable! That Surfer Singed skin isn't going to buy itself, is it.

Time to step up and CONSUME.

if only alcoves flamed you if you didn't have a new skin, and surfer singed gained a surfing bonus from ocean terrain. THINK ROVIENT THINK, how did we miss these opportunities.

You disappointed most of my League friendlist and me with your predatory business practices last year and overall decision making and content + the internal drama about the culture inside your company is not forgotten.

Step up your game and ethics and I am sure many of the long time players in their 20s+ will spend more money again. I very much enjoy League at its core, but compared to say 2017 I barely bought anything in 2019.

Even if you should not respond to this comment, take it to heart. You might be able to psychologically trick and prey on the younger audience, but that is not the way it should be done imo.

PS: You could obviously apply most of my points to Fortnite as well, but at least they offered massive content updates in 2018+2019 I guess. Still, Epic games is doing a poor job as well when it comes to the way they treat their players imo. At least their competitive audience. Which is not okay due to many reasons imo. Wait for their numbers after 2020. I highly doubt they will have any growth with their current way of operating. Quite the opposite, their revenue will most likely drop.

Treating your consumer with dignity and respect is the long-term way to go and how we should treat other fellow human anyways.

Hey there! Thanks for your comment. Obviously, my post was tongue in cheek, but it has prompted a more serious discussion on League's recent monetisation.

What aspects of our recent activity do you most feel are predatory? Very interested to get your input on this.

We're working hard to address the culture issues from what I can tell, but, being a straight, white male I was never part of the affected groups in the first place, so cannot really know what's changed for sure. I believe everything's moving in the right direction.

We missed an obvious win with "Alcoves house a small gnome creature that praises you on your skin purchase, whilst flaming you for using defaults" feature.

Damnit.

I dunno about that. I can eat a pretty large lunch.
