An Idea, Like Lootcrate but Different at The Same Time, Need Your Thoughts

Associated[Deactivated] @ LocoGamingWorld on 23/02/2015 - 21:48

Okay, Not Really Sure Where to Start Here, If Its Confusing i apologize.

Currently, i own a online game store, and when i was trying to sleep last night (stupid brain) i had a bit of an idea, It's Similar To Lootcrate and Box 51 but its not the same, as they deal with Merchandise and stuff where i will be dealing with actual Pc games (cd Keys).

So Like Lootcrate, You Would Sign up for a Monthly subscription, to receive a bundle of CD Keys According to the set theme for the month, They Will be Full Games Like Assassins creed, battlefield, sims, dead space, mass effect, ect.. Each Box Will Contain 2-6 Games (Depending on the game) there will be no Indie games unless the theme for the month is Indie Related in Which 6-8 Games will be included, but As well as the Games you get some bonus item (merchandise) related to a game in the bundle or the theme. But Thats Not All, Each Much Subscribers will be put in the draw to Win either a new release/pre-order game or a Piece of Merchandise Valued at $50+.

This was just an idea i had, i think it could work if enough where interested in it, the value of the box would be well worth the subscription price (100% Promise)

So any input, ideas, changes, criticism is more then welcome!

Thank You!

    Sounds like a nice idea in theory, but the reality is that I usually have a couple of games that are on my wish list that I'm monitoring for price drops (usually on Steam Wishlist, or just casual browsing on the GameDeals reddit page).

    So I'm not very likely to subscribe to a random smattering of games that I may not be interested at all — it'll just end up in my Great Steam Library, unplayed and untouched until the end of time (or when Valve goes bankrupt, whichever comes first).

    Also, there's a strong likelihood of duplicates — if I subscribe to your 'lootcrate' of games, there's a high probability I may get a game that I alraedy own. What am I going to do with the dozens of un-redeemed games if your lootcrate happens to be all dupes?

      I Was thinking of also giving the choice to swap One of the games out for another one (if you already have it or dont want it), from a select list. But its like lootcrate, you could already have some of the items in the box, some you may want, others you don't, and a few that you weren't looking at getting but now that you got it, you want to keep it - if that makes sense.

      Just like lootcrate we wont send out multiple copies of the one game, so if bundle 1 has medal of honor, we wouldn't put medal of honor in any of out other boxes but we would put it on the list of available swaps, and in the rare chance that you have all the games included, as long as the codes still work when we get them back, we are more then happy to refund that months or give you the chance to choose some from the available replacements

    Interesting idea but what would be the price point? 2-6 / 6-8 games seems quite costly especially if they're AAA titles. I agree with Scrim's points. Seems good in theory but I'm not sure if it would take off, especially with weekly bundles - would be cheaper to buy a few weekly bundles for generally good games that you can decide if you want rather than a compilation of $2 bin games.
