Exclusive Items and Items forgotten in the Eorzea Database

Man, EU really tends to get the short end of the stick, huh?

I knew about the Pizza Promo (hence why I asked about it for EU specifically), but Chokorpokkur really flew over my head.

It maybe too late now but the limited thing was most likely BS. I demanded my code about a month later, after they made me wait for weeks to confirm this and that, typical excuses. It took some convincing but they gave me one.

I just gave up and decided never to use their services ever again hopefully next time SE makes another promo they go with a company reliable let alone not dedicated to one region so everyone can have a chance.

Depending on where you run a promotion, you're sometimes required to offer an equivalent cash prize as an option. This can have the side-effect of the number of digital items in a promotion being artificially limited simply so that you don't have a situation where you're functionally writing a blank check for an unknown quantity of money; by limiting the number of digital "items", you also limit what you might need to spend on it.

It's dumb, but there is an actual rational reason why there can be an artificially imposed "limited supply" of a functionally infinite digital good.

In my own experience, this usually only applies to contests specifically. But I'm not going to swear there's nowhere that it applies to promotions in general, and I would in fact not be surprised in the least if there was such a place.
