No promotion lasts forever, and I definitely got my value out of this one while it was there.

Hey folks - I wanted to jump in and provide a little context to this conversation. Jumping on top comment to help with vis

Our original partnership with Amazon was just for 2022. We have, however, been talking with them about a potential 2023 version. In the short term, while those conversations are ongoing, we’re going to do a February capsule drop that’s the same as last year’s.

In the long term, we’re still figuring out whether something’s possible and if so what it might look like (though it’s unlikely to be the same as the 2022 version). We’ll share the new details with you as soon as we’ve got something concrete

Nice, thanks for letting us know! I will say, though, that it is unfortunate that we have to rely on Reddit/Twitter threads that don't have much visibility in order to get updates from Riot. If it wasn't for YouTubers like Matty Loves Gaming, I don't know what I would do tbh

Yeah, this one's a bit of a middle ground. We debated whether to do something through more official channels now or once we had something more definitive to share. Concluded it was better to just jump in and say something where discussion was happening right now, then do more formal messaging once we know what's happening for the rest of the year. Realize that's not ideal for some folks though

Any insight onto how these negotiations are held? I'm very curious about the decision making behind what kind of loot is given away and the nature of the partnership itself. I think its one of the nicest things any FTP game has done for its users.

That's one of those things we can't really talk about except in fairly vague terms unfortunately. A lot of it though is about trying to figure out what creates the best overall package that leaves both parties as happy as possible (since the ideal scenario is a long running partnership both organizations feel good about). Lots of back and forth about potential options, trade offs, etc while working to understand the goals of the partner org you're talking with.

is the February capsule drop just the January one that was extended or is it one for February?

It’s a different one, not just more time to get the January one
