This week’s outrage over the latest bundle offered in the digital CCG, Marvel Snap was punctuated by players comparing its price to that of a vagina-scented candle.
“It’s ridiculous,” said one highly upvoted commentor. “I can’t believe they’re asking $65 for a variant, a series 5 card, and some currency. I could buy a candle that smells like Gwyneth Paltrow’s vagina for the same price! Sure, you can get a new card to enjoy until it’s unusable via nerf, but do you know whose pussy that card smells like? Nobody’s!”
Other highly downvoted comments pointed out that value is subjective.
“Many will scoff at the $65 price tag of a bundle of in-game items, especially one with value equal to the experience of whiffing some rich lady’s twat. But it’s worth noting that some people may value a new card and subsequent decks more than the stank of gash. The main thing is that players remain fiscally responsible whether you’re buying a Marvel Snap bundle or the wax equivalent of a funky funhouse.”
Second Dinner responded to the outrage.
“We try to put up products for people of all budgets. Every month we offer a new card for 1/6th of the price of Ms. Paltrow’s scented salmon sandwich. However, we’re tasked with paying our employees a livable wage in 2023 using a game that is perfectly playable without spending a dime. That means we’ll offer in-game purchases to those who are able to spend more money on occasion. Of course, we understand that hot boxing the house with the smell of a hot box would be ideal if it were free, but the world simply doesn’t work that way.”
Marvel Snap developers did concede that if it had been a bussy scented candle they would absolutely encourage players to go that route instead of a Marvel Snap bundle.
