Hell Bobby Kotick (Activision's CEO) is worth $2,000,000,000 by himself. How many engrams you think he's bought?

This company doesn't need Eververse to feed themselves. It's purely greed.

It's ironic that the micro-transactions were originally explained as funding the regular live events such as the Dawning....when in reality most of those events simply revolve around selling Eververse look anyway! Pay us money so we can craft a different event where you pay us more money....
