    It's cute. Depending on pricing, I might buy it. Not sure if I'd do a "jump-through-hoops" promo just to get it, though, like the JP 7-11 stuff.

    Sigh. Can we please stop spreading this? Large corporations not only expect things like this to occur, they account for it as part of business. The overwhelmingly majority of people bought something on Amazon and neither they or Square lost anything. Chances are, they would do it again because it's good incentive regardless if some people cheat the system.

    I am pretty sure you are basing your argument off dragon tears and lalafel dust. The promotional system was designed for players to buy stuff off amazon. Not make a preorder and immediately refund it and unless you are from square or amazon you do not know the figures to prove your argument.

    It is no suprised that in order to get these items for EU you had to buy a magazine and break the seal in order to get the codes. Once the seal was broken you couldn't return it.

    You can assume based on this that they did make it harder unpurposely.

    What figures are necessary? Even if hundreds of people did that, the reward was digital items which cost nothing to produce, so it's not as if either company lost money because a few jerks scammed for the codes.

    Besides, this would be a great time for that sort of promotion, with an expansion coming out soon. I'm sure a lot of people would just preorder Stormblood, which they were planning to get anyway, get their items, and everyone wins.

    It matters because as usual a few selfish people went ahead and did what they wanted without any regard to how it would affect anyone else at the time or in the future. It may not have cost money to produce the items but it would have cost money to put the promotion in place.
    And you are right about now being an excellent time to do another but if Amazon didn't see the profit they expected last time why would they bother going to the trouble of setting up another?
    I would like that stuff though so i do hope they will do something for us too

    I'm not against a promotion. I would love another one. All I am saying is that square probably won't make it as ideal as the amazon promotion in future promotions.

    I really, really doubt it was anywhere near as big a problem as people make it out to be. Sure some people are scammers, and it would be wise for them to include some safeguards this time, like not sending the codes out until the order actually ships (Which was the case with the Amazon promo codes for FFXV preorders), but I can't really believe the summer promotion ended as anything but a net profit for them, since many people did actually buy things.

    And again, if they really wanted to deter cancellations they'd get the promo off the ground ASAP so people could get it in along with their Stormblood preorders. You might still get some scammers, but if you want the codes you probably also want the expansion, so there's a greater incentive not to cancel this time.

    I searched my local ASDA and got a few copies for friends but I ended up ordering the rest online because it was near impossible to guarantee copies in stores Much rather just pay for them in Mogstation tbh xD
