Well, think about it like this. Nexon doesn’t have to give anything at all away. The whole reason for this giveaway is to get players into the game. It is advertising.
Without knowing what criteria they use I really have nothing useful to provide beyond what I have already stated, which is speculation. They are trying to get new blood into the game. I will call that a good thing. Keeping the game alive and well, with a growing population, is a priority at this stage.

And I have a newborn daughter to raise (Which I am extremely happy about).[/quote]
I have a life too. It doesn’t make it hard to claim the things they’ve offered for free and do a set of missions. If you don’t have that time to spare, then too bad for you. You, my friend, are a casual and they tend to not get everything the hardcore get. Kind of how life works.
It scares me you have this sense of entitlement and a child.[/quote]
So those who don’t have the time, according to your statement about the casual and hardcore, will miss out on the good things? Tell me, I have to play dirty bomb for hours each day to not miss a single chance? Isn’t that unfair to those who have better stuff to do, like work and raise a child? “Hold on honey, daddy has to complete the daily missions for a game.” What really is wrong here, though, is how it’s only accessible to certain people, and others, they’re like “Sorry.” That’s it, done. No explanation, or anything.
BTW, congrats ColonelDumpling on your daughter. May you raise her well![/quote]
You’ll miss out on some things. That’s life. I play daily and I’m not going to cry that I wasn’t included in this advertising campaign which was obviously meant to bring Nexon players in. Do you cry when they don’t give you a prize in the dev stream giveaways? Do you find those unfair? They don’t have to give you shit in the first place.
Gaming has been this way for ages. Those who put in the work advance faster or have more. WoW did it with raiding - to get attuned or have resist gear required extra time on top of what you spent raiding. I was looking at 80+ hours a week of playing to make sure I cleared BT and SWP. I laughed at the kids who cried they couldn’t see the content. And then I laughed even more when Blizzard made everything easier to achieve and people cried because it was too easy.
That’s how it is. If you want Fragger or 50K credits bad enough you’ll grind them. It isn’t hard to earn 15K credits a day now. Play the game, be thankful for what you’ve gotten so far and be happy Nexon is advertising to make sure the game stays alive.

I don’t even visit the dev streams, for I have shitty internet. That, I don’t care about. They’re giving away to a large audience with only some guaranteed, but this was a whole different level. They mass dropped a 50k credit and Fragger code, and won’t tell us the differentiating factor between those who got it, and those who didn’t. It seems like it was to be the entire Dirty Bomb audience due to how they mass sent the whole thing. It wasn’t a giveaway, it was / a gift /. There’s a difference between the two. This was suppose to be a gift for those loyal to the game. If so, then why do some of us get it, and some not?
For those who wanted Fragger, you can get him here;

What’s the difference between a mass giveaway on Twitch to those watching or randomly selecting accounts and sending them this? Or, like is being theorized, was sent to Nexon accounts who played other Nexon games to get them into Dirty Bomb? Most people who got it said they played another Nexon game.
If they really wanted to give Fragger and 50K credits to everybody who was playing, do you honestly think they’d do it via email? Where many people wouldn’t receive it and then there’d be support tickets like mad? No. They’d make him free and make an announcement such as “Everybody who logs in between these dates receives this!”
It was obviously apart of marketing and a lot of us weren’t targeted. Get over it and move along.
@Harlot is correct afaik
It isn’t a giveaway. It is a promotional offer. A giveaway is what that alienware cases were. A promotional offer will generally only apply to people who meet a certain criteria. Definitely a difference.
Read the message in the OP again. It is clearly geared towards players that do not play the game currently. Yeah, some existing players got a code, it was probably an issue with how they generated their e-mail list. That’s all.

If you already play Dirty Bomb do you really need an email that says “DIRTY BOMB IS HERE!”? That’s the biggest giveaway. This is to get Nexon accounts back into Nexon games. It probably also got some people who already played, but hey, they obviously played Nexon games before this and deserve something for their loyalty.
Kind of similar to Prime day, yesterday.
Didn’t get that email, but I already have Fragger from PCGamer. But I would love the 50k credits.
