What if a console that doesn't currently have access to the game donates the most. Let me play as a gameboy shaped skin

Fall Guys offers to add a skin for the brand that makes highest charity donation to UK-based charity Special Effect
- Thread starter Kalentan
- Start date
"Yes, I'd be willing to donate 10k to charity! Oh that's not enough? Well fuck 'em then." These are companies, not individuals. Ironically, I've seen a bunch of charity auctions and giveaways, where you absolutely do make the actual donation as your bid, but again, those aren't aimed at companies.
The question was literally are they actually donating this money or just bidding. I don't know how to make that more clear, and if it's still not clear, then I can only apologise.
I think it's clear, it's just not clear why you and others in the thread with the same thought process would expect a bunch of companies to line up to make donations to not get a skin in this game. You're correct to say that the way it's being done is to the benefit of the companies, but it would just be dead in the water otherwise, right?
It sounds like you perfectly understand the situation, but just don't see it as a problem. I think it's distasteful to offer a charitable donation if x happens. That distaste increases exponentially for brands that 100% can afford to meet their "bids" using the opportunity as nothing but marketing, with no intention of making those donations without it essentially working to purchase the skin. That's me, that's how I feel about those doing this. I'm not all asking nor expecting you or anyone else to feel the same.
I mean, Mediatonic is essentially the one making the donation though. Whichever company or whomever bids highest is paying for this skin, just not to who they normally would. I guess I just see this as big companies doing as big companies do, with Mediatonic in this case making some good use of it.
Good on Mediatonic. Doesn't change my feelings about a bunch of brands bidding donations. You can feel whatever way you want about it.
Which companies have made a bid they weren't going to follow through on?
Fuck off with that BS, Ninja. Everyone knows about your Mixer contract.
"I'm broke guys. Can't afford it." Maybe he should tweet at Zuckerberg for 1 million.
I just came to post this. lmao. God bless the PR guy who somehow got his bosses to sign off on this.
I've been receiving emails from tushy for the past year and I definitely did not expect to hear from them again
This is amazing... pretty genius, having that public faced Donation bid war. More companies should do this.
Jesus, people. A lot of money is going to a charity, who cares if a company temporarily gets some positive PR from making a bid? Each time they do it the charity gets more money. Let's just enjoy a good thing for a minute without becoming immediately indignant.
Special Effect is going to receive a huge ass donation, which at this rate could easily reach a million dollars or more. This donation would not have happen if it wasn't for this campaign.
Huge ass donation to charity > No huge ass donation to charity. That should be all that matters in this case. But apparently not, because you're too woke for that.
I will say this... it's a good thing and I am glad it's happening and some people are being way too sensitive, BUT - I do think it's shitty when a company outbids another by $0.69 because that does reek of a free PR move.
You are missing the point. Yes - companies are getting free PR. A lot of these companies know that since it's an early bid, they aren't actually going to have to spend the money since some other company will outbid them for sure.
But so what? The whole purpose of this charity campaign is to take advantage of the fact that companies really like good PR in order to ultimately get a huge ass donation for Special Effect. So companies obviously rush to get their bit of free PR but while that is happening a huge donation is being cooked up in the process. What's the issue exactly?
Every thing about the Peach Guy is amazing. The brand, the head..and that shirt is absolutely incredible.
I understand and agree with all that. I was arguing the same thing in this thread. My point is that it seems tacky for someone to just buy a small amount over the existing highest bid. Someone could keep saying +$0.01 every time they get outbid, but really they should be beating the previous high bid by af least $1,000 or so.
that might encourage a bigger brand to wade in with a much higher offer
honestly this ideally needs an Amazon or google to outbid everyone else and therefore get more money to charity
Ok, thanks for your input. I've got no qualm with Mediatonic, or their plan, I've made my point of view clear, not that you care. I didn't come here to argue. I asked a question, got my answer, elaborated what I'd like to happen, and got yelled at for it. Several times already. It's a complete conversation at this point that you still wanted to winge about, for some reason.
I'm done responding to this, so you can either figure out how to deal with someone not falling over themselves to praise this situation, or find someone else to fingerwag at.
Please stop. your reply comes across as really self-centered and I don't think that's your intention. it's not about what you like to see happen, its about the fact that they are getting this charity donations. How they do it does not matter at all, it should not even be a point to argue or talk about.

I really hope that bidet company wins, I want to run around in a shirt that says "ask me about my butthole" and peach head.
It would be the greatest skin in the game ever. But we also need some bottoms, both the peach and the shirt are tops.
Yeah, sure thing bud. It's not self-centered in anyway to keep insisting on dragging my post after already explaining myself like a half dozen times though.
Read the rest of my posts in here. I've outlined my view on the situation; it hasn't changed. If they don't satisfy you, read this post again, then go back and read all the other posts again. This conversation is a circle, and this is it begins and ends here.
Unless the bottoms are a defined butt, we don't need one! Let me run around with my butthole out, it's what the shirt would want.
I'd do it if it wasn't bound to have actual responses to it from creeps
I can't believe I'm rooting for a brand to get a advertising deal but fuck it. I want that shirt.
there is 0 reason for you to attack other members who share their opinions on something you wrote, but it seems you did this with other people who commented on your post and now your doing it with me, so conclusion: you never really wanted a reply on your post, you just wanted to post it on an open forum and just expect everyone to accept it, if that's what you want sure. have a good day.
