Jester Cards, yes or no? (Patreon)
Content
So I introduced Jester Cards on Friday and the feedback on it has been positive on Patreon. However it's been negative in other places of the internet. That's why I wanted to talk to you to get your feedback.
1) What are Jester Cards?
Monthly ingame rewards given to Patrons depending on their pledge. More info here.
2) Is it a good idea or not?
While it's meant as a reward for the different tiers of Patrons, some see it as a tactic / gimmick to make more money of people that otherwise weren't interested in pledging a (higher) amount.
On top of that, the system is compared to lootboxes. Something that's been hated in the gaming industry for a long time. Even though they are not lootboxes, I won't deny that the presentation of it makes it seem like they are.
3) What's your opinion?
All in all, it's left me with an uneasy feeling. Which is why I'm reaching out to you. Are Jester Cards a good idea in your mind? Should they be changed or removed entirely? Perhaps you have your own ideas for different tier rewards.
Any and all thoughts, I'd love to hear them.
