Weird VC pricing

Postby ThePointForward on Thu Oct 16, 2014 6:30 am

Today I looked how much VC costs, as I can make some easy weekly euros just by playing CS:GO and seeling loot. So I though that I might as well put that "free" money to use some day and was checking out possibilities.
Lowest was 5000 VC is 1.99€... OK little boost for some cash
In the middle it was 35000 VC for 9.99€... Nice quantity discount, one would spend 14€ if he bought 7 separate 5000VC packs.
And the most expensive was 200000 VC (yeah 200k) pack which costs 339.99€. WAIT WHAT? 200k/5k = 40. 40*2= 80€
It would be over four times more expensive to buy 200k VC in one pack than buying 40x 5k VC pack. WTF

The guy that entered the euro values made a typo, obviously. It's 49.99 in dollars so it should be 39.99 euros.

Thought of this too. But then how would you explain this 75k VC package being for 139.99€? :D

The 200k package is now fixed, but 75k package is still 139.99€ (which is probably supposed to be 19.99€).

200k shows up as 39.99€ now, so that has been corrected, but it shows me taht 75k package is 139.99€.

Still, I can get free 1500 - 5000 VC per day just by playing the mobile app in train when I'm going to work :D

You can get daily free VC (I've got at least 1k every time) and play mobile version of MyTeam (separate), which allows you to get another 500 VC just for playing.
