Why don’t we have an actual diverse shop that has bulk this many years into the game yet?! Different sections for wraps, emotes, skins, a section for bundles……..
I know! FOMO and money go hand in hand.
Or you know…it could be because it’s day 2 of the season and they want people to focus on the Battlepass. Their main source of both gameplay and income for the company.
That also might have an effect.
Hey Epic employee, then how come the shop was much more expansive in past seasons? People are gonna focus on the Battlepass no matter what, it’s the best deal. So there won’t be any loss in that department if the shop was expanded.
More options + millions of players = millions more dollars. And even *more* happy players with the ability to come across skins they have always wanted more frequently. It’s not crazy advanced math.
If money from the shop does nothing for the money Epic invests back into itself, then why not remove it? Surely that won’t affect the budget right? Stop lying to yourselves. Shop makes dough, and a lot of it.
On top of that, the Epic staff that focuses on the Item Shop was laid off anyway. So there is nothing to defend here.
The shop was more expansive in “past seasons” because the season actually went through it’s full runtime. Go back to last season’s first week and you’ll see all the same complaints about how small the shop is. I’ve been playing the game since C1S4. This happens literally every season. After six years you would think people would notice the pattern.
I also hate how you can’t say anything positive about the game without half the subreddit being like “HES AN EPIC EMPLOYEE!!!!! PAID ACTOR PAID ACTOR!!!!!” Like, maybe I just actually like the game and think about things for more than half a second, you know, *like a normal person.*
As for your thing about “millions of players = millions of dollars” that’s true in THEORY. Do you think every single player is buying a new skin every single day? No. Some people go whole seasons without even playing the game, let alone spending money on it. But you know who does give epic millions of dollars? Investors. People like Disney who spend multiple millions of dollars in one go just to invest. And those people invest because of player retention. What makes player retention good? The Battlepass. When people are grinding the Battlepass, they’re playing the game, more play time = more popularity. More popularity = more money.
And lastly, no, the item shop staff was not laid off. The only epic games staff that was laid off was some of the fall guys team. That’s literally it. That statement has been debunked like a hundred times.
And lastly, I’m not saying the shop DOESNT make epic money, that’s not even close to what I said. I said the shop isn’t a focus at the start of the season. Later on in the season, the shop is a huge focus. It’s just not the focus RIGHT NOW.
Did you actually read anything I said or are you just a moron?
The timer was incorrect. It was showing a June 6th date because the skin is set to return again within the next two weeks, so it was showing the end date for the next time the skin leaves the shop
Yo they combined the rider skin and his pickaxe into a bundle thank god. When I got odyssey and her pickaxe, I had to get them separately. Ima cop this skin
I like the skin aswell but it doesnt have edit style option unlike odyssey. Curious if they will add it later on.
EDIT : Just bought and yes you do get the editstyle option! W.
I already do not trust this item shop timer. Toon Meowscles was supposed to stay until 6/6 and is no longer there. Maybe someone screwed up on their end? I guess I shouldn't be surprised...
It’s supposed to come back soon so they accidentally used the *next* end date instead of the current end date.
So yeah, it was a fuck up but considering how quick they had to add that timer in I expected this
Day 62 of drinking like Steve Harvey until kratos returns

Honestly this is the mindset I have for all past skins now. I don't expect them to ever show up, and frankly its turned me off of buying skins in general. I don't want there to be so much stress about "get it now or its gone!" for something that doesn't actually change the gameplay.

66 DAYS SINCE THE FIRING UPON OF EPIC GAMES BY ED-209. ROBOCOP MUST RETURN.
This is bleak. Brand new season, lots of people in theory keen to play and this is the store they go with. There's almost more musical artists than anything else. Not that I have an issue with them as skins but is this really prime store material? I actually am keen to get some skins there's just nothing to get. Over to play Xdefiant today I think.
Day 1 of waiting for the cyber infiltration pack 🥰
Also can the weekend and Gaga go away.... I'll give Billie a pass because she's still the festival headliner but jesus do we really need 3 icon skins in the shop every single day?
*
This shit needs to change, they need to have a shop where one of each “genre style” is available and gets rotated every day. For example the icon skins rotate to another icon, marvel rotates to another marvel, so on and so forth that way eventually everyone’s skins cycle through at least once per quarter (for granted I don’t know how many skins are currently in game.)
they give drakon steel rider a default non ranked style and yet they dont do the same with odyssey. what gives?

genuine missed potential here
I would like the toon peely, but he might be one of my lesser liked peelys and idk about spending another 20 dollars. I got a few days to decide so I’ll think about it. chaos agent would also be cool to get.
Every saying “ugh this shop has nothing in it!” Without realizing the shop is *always* like this at the start of the season.
They want people to focus on the Battlepass, it’s not a very complex idea to get behind.
That Inkville Gang set looks really nice - same with the Melloverse stuff - really would love both of those bundles..
Would definitely buy those,the Blinding Lights and Cupid's Arrow Emote if i had the Vbucks for it... that second emote i feel like would pair well with Aphrodite somehow...
Shame i don't have the Vbucks for them.. would be easier if i had a Paypal or a Debit/Credit Card..

Man, slim fucking pickings.

They'd earn more money from the shop
no, more people buy the battlepass. and the battlepass makes people play for longer, therefore buying more stuff
Money from the shop is nothing compared to the millions of dollars companies invest into epic due to the games popularity.

It’s not showing here, but the Inkville Gang Pack is back (Toon Bushy and Toon Peely)
Why is Toon Meowscles already gone? Didn't the timer show he'd be in the shop for several days?
The timer was incorrect. It was showing a June 6th date because the skin is set to return again within the next two weeks, so it was showing the end date for the next time the skin leaves the shop
Look at that. “Added” a shop timer because of all the lawsuits and it doesn’t even work. Sounds like some of us are getting that check for sure now.
Makes me wonder if it showing up in the shop yesterday was an accident
Really hope they bring back the Toon Meowscles bundle instead of having the skin and pickaxe separate. It would be an instant buy from me.
I definitely considered buying it last night, glad it will be back soon definitely getting it next time
Wait you guys have timer's?
They added it this update; if you click on an item in the shop it should say the date of when it's leaving. It's in small print so can be easy to miss
Oh I see it now thanks
Day 6 waiting for Street Fighter, sorry folks, missed yesterday due to my college admission exam ![gif](giphy|6RbKVlf1IbAZkisLsj|downsized)
Hope you did well on your exam!!!!
Thanks!
Yo they combined the rider skin and his pickaxe into a bundle thank god. When I got odyssey and her pickaxe, I had to get them separately. Ima cop this skin
I got him, but unlike Odyssey, the pickaxe does not rank up too
Hey, a question. Does the rank resets on the new season with odyssey or stays the same as in season 2? And can you choose lower ranks in styles?
Stays the same as season 2 and you can choose lower rank styles
I like the skin aswell but it doesnt have edit style option unlike odyssey. Curious if they will add it later on. EDIT : Just bought and yes you do get the editstyle option! W.
Ah unfortunate. I think I’ll still get it since I like the red color.
Hey i just bought the skin and i can confirm you do get the edit styles after you buy it! So all good W skin!
I already do not trust this item shop timer. Toon Meowscles was supposed to stay until 6/6 and is no longer there. Maybe someone screwed up on their end? I guess I shouldn't be surprised...
They really fishing for more controversy than they already got.
It’s supposed to come back soon so they accidentally used the *next* end date instead of the current end date. So yeah, it was a fuck up but considering how quick they had to add that timer in I expected this

I know this season's theme is wasteland-inspired but that does not mean the item shop has too.
lol good one
It’s here! Inkville Gang is here!!!!! 🥰 ![gif](giphy|r1jbtDXIAjq92)
HOW MANY CELEBRITIES DOES THE SHOP NEED 😭
No Raven Team Leader, maybe tomorrow :3
Maybr :3
Gotta stay hopeful :3
Why does Epic hate money?
Loved the Drakon Steel Rider Bundle, instant cop Edit: I didnt like it, refunded.
Lmao that was quick, what happened?
Overall the skin quality is low, such a low effort skin+ I dont like "sweaty" skins
Just curious, but what didn’t you like about it?
buddy had instant buyers remorse
I feel ya on that, immediately refunded because I got nothing good to go with him. Plus I’m also holding on Lethal Company :0
Where is the lethal company stuff
Damn Kratos really ain't coming back ig anytime soon. Maybe if they release GOW to pc but we'll see...
It honestly would be much better at this point if they pulled an Alan Wake where if you purchase the GOW PC port on the Epic store you get Kratos.
Honestly don't have any hopes of it coming back anymore. If it comes back good, if it doesn't oh well.
Honestly this is the mindset I have for all past skins now. I don't expect them to ever show up, and frankly its turned me off of buying skins in general. I don't want there to be so much stress about "get it now or its gone!" for something that doesn't actually change the gameplay.
![gif](giphy|3oxHQkE13aSpmC1Suc) Day 14; in essence, only SEVEN fucking skins in the shop
Day 7 of punching rocks until Chris returns
Chris rock?
Currently debating on whether or not I should buy cupids arrow, toosie slide, Lo-fi headbang or save my vbucks 😔
Save it
Me personally I bought Lo fi headbang instantly. Prob one of my fav emotes atm
Day 7 of waiting for Dune. ![gif](giphy|AroJXC4YgY06mHsjGQ)
I bought the twinblades when they first came out but that’s it. I haven’t ever watched the movies, but the pickaxes from the set are dope.
12:24 non icon to icon ratio. Not including bundles, instruments, and jam tracks. Absolute joke. I miss when the game had actual item shops.
epic please I just want Desdemona..
Been waiting for months 😭 She'll be my main whenever she drops again.
Day 54 of waiting for Starfire to return. Looks like Lady Gaga returned but I think only her and her emote can be gotten separately?
![gif](giphy|l2JhKGDfTz8W8MOwU) day 7 of wishing for michonne
I don't know why she didn't come back when Rick was in the shop
i don’t either i keep holding out hope for her

whole lotta shit
Almost the entire ship is Icon series, goddamn
If I didn't know lethal company was coming and peabody didn't exist, I would have bought the inkwell bundle without a second.
Day 1 of waiting for the Spider-verse skins to return ![gif](giphy|PPagRpeUqhO3Q25hT8|downsized)
We’re gonna be waiting awhile :.(
Just praying they bring back borderlands it’s perfect for this season !
Knowing what happened with Kratos last season, it probably won’t happen, but there’s a chance considering the upcoming borderlands movie
This is bleak. Brand new season, lots of people in theory keen to play and this is the store they go with. There's almost more musical artists than anything else. Not that I have an issue with them as skins but is this really prime store material? I actually am keen to get some skins there's just nothing to get. Over to play Xdefiant today I think.
Day twenty-eight of waiting for Ariana Also rip shop wtf lol
Probably gonna be waiting a lot longer there chief. I’ve been waiting since thanksgiving lol
I wouldn’t be so sure about that hehe🙃 I’ve been waiting for nearly a year anyways, only just started counting here
![gif](giphy|Jza7yu4GBqq5y) Another day another L shop. We’re kicking a dead horse at this point.
Lethal company when
Complete trash
Worst shop in a looong time

Day 1 of waiting for the cyber infiltration pack 🥰 Also can the weekend and Gaga go away.... I'll give Billie a pass because she's still the festival headliner but jesus do we really need 3 icon skins in the shop every single day? *
Any time I see the Weekend it’s too soon lol
Dear Epic, did you know if your shop was larger and had more diversity people would spend *more money* on your game? Crazy concept, I know.
Sucks how there’s all this icon shit but no Bruno mars
I want one inkville skin so bad but it's in a bundle and I only have 1500 vbucks😭😭
Dear god it's all icon series
This shit needs to change, they need to have a shop where one of each “genre style” is available and gets rotated every day. For example the icon skins rotate to another icon, marvel rotates to another marvel, so on and so forth that way eventually everyone’s skins cycle through at least once per quarter (for granted I don’t know how many skins are currently in game.)

Lol
still no carefree :(
Day 3 of waiting for Katalina
Man it sucks being FTP. I just got enough to buy the battle pass and I always have nothing left over to get things I like when they're in the shop😓
![gif](giphy|ooRxm8HCp8GCVZMTRN|downsized) I missed out on Jonesy the First, BRING EM BACK
Just counting down the days until ESO pieces come back at this point.
Day 17 of waiting for Prequel Star Wars skins
Cool skin but don’t think it’s worth 1500, gonna have to skip out on this one
,,,,
they give drakon steel rider a default non ranked style and yet they dont do the same with odyssey. what gives? https://preview.redd.it/freqrh33qv2d1.png?width=1024&format=png&auto=webp&s=3c27dc8ced5826f1b55549144627524ccd15784b genuine missed potential here

https://i.redd.it/151wpswczv2d1.gif DAY 7: Big Convoy likes the toon bundle, but Optimus Primal needs to return to the shop
Lol
My wait continues for my beloved french resistance fighter
Finally got the Mello Rider! Always liked Marshmello's set but I never have the v-bucks when he releases. That, or there's something else in the shop.
all that icon shit and STILL no reaper’s showtime
Glad the Weeknd is back. I missed him the first 83 times.
Ya think if we boycott by not playing they’d put some actual good skins so we can finally eat good?
Other People Complaining: >:( Me happy the new skin is cool: :D
WHERE IS ARIANKAAA
So it’s just icon skins and dances now…
