How exactly do you earn fighter coins ?

[Nuriyokan]

When i hit the button to view Fighter Coin details it tells me of two categories . " Fighter Coins purchased " , and " Fighter Coins earned through rewards " . How do you get them via a reward and what do you have to do ? People keep saying you must pay for it however the game states otherwise . What's the whole earning them via a reward thing about ?

[Nuriyokan]

Just a side note : " Earning " and Paying money are two different things .

Maybe there will be tournaments with Fighter Coin rewards in future. Who knows?

You can only earn them through the battle pass at this time, but you gotta pay for that first, of course.

the only way you can get them is to pay for em. either directly or via the food brand colaboration where you had to buy something there to get a code? for some fighter coins as a reward.

the chipotle thing:

this can of course change in the future.

Right, I forgot about this deal cuz it wasn't available in Europe afaik. Sorry for the misinformation in my original post.

Given that there currently isn't a way to get FC for free in-game (they'll give you drive tickets instead) I am guessing "rewards" refers to participating in promotions like the Chipotle thing.

Maybe... they make it very distinct in game while in the battle hub . It's two separate lines of blue text . One is by purchasing and the other is earning via a reward. I'm not sure how you can " Earn " something if you have to pay real money for it.

I'm not sure how " Earning " it through a paid battle pass is fair ... I mean its not illegal or anything but what I'm saying is that they use the word " Earn " to make you think it can actually be unlocked for free like Frost In Mortal Kombat 11. You could just reach chapter 4 in the story to unlock her for free instead of paying . That is earning something .

Paying cash , or Paying cash for a battle pass is still paying and not " Earning " as they claim. If what you say is true and you must buy a battle pass then they need to update that text , or omit it.

Someone has a job.
They earn money in their job.
To do their job they had to pay for transport to get to the job.
They had to pay for clothes to dress for their job.
This job requires certification: they had to pay money to fund their education to get their job.

Conclusion: Paying money beforehand does not invalidate the word 'earn', so your argument is incorrect.

In video games when you are told you can earn something its usually rewarded by skill. You beat a boss , or earn points by winning at the game to unlock something. I never said you don't earn money at a job. I didn't say that you didn't earn the money via working a job to buy what ever it is you wanted to buy. When I'm told i have the option to either pay money or " earn " something . It implies that their is another option besides paying . So no my statement was not incorrect. I stated that " Paying cash for a battle pass is still paying and not " Earning " as they claim " . Earning is what you do to get the money when you pay for something you are not " earning " anything you are purchasing it.

I'll give you an example. I'm an athlete with 25yrs of experience and have won multiple titles and medals . I didn't buy the medals , I earned them by showcasing my skill set through hard work and years of working on my craft. You could make the statement that I paid for the medals by signing up for the tournaments , however not every individual who pays for said tournaments will get the medals . So there is indeed a huge difference between earning something and purchasing something.

Even still in my case i was presented with two options via blue text in the menu that told me I could pay for fighter coins , or earn them via rewards . To give me a " reward " Implies that I'm being rewarded for something. Typically in video games you are rewarded for beating some level , or completing a challenging task. If you are indeed just making a purchase at the end of the day then what is the point of telling me to either pay , or earn it ?

The overall point is that the text in game is misleading . Many games will allow you to " earn " something by grinding vs paying money and they give you the option. Ex: MK11 - you can buy fatality tokens , outfits , or krystals to unlock in game content . The 2nd option is to " earn " it by playing the game. Ex2: Apex legends : you can buy and heirloom, or " earn " it by getting enough points and placing into higher ranks and lobbies . Get more kills to earn more red crystals and unlock champions vs paying cash hence " earn ".

So this terminology via the video games are used by devs in the industry so since we are talking about a video game and this is a common thing .... how could my " argument " or statement be incorrect ? Its not.

"Reward" as in FC earned from premium pass(last few levels).

As long as you only purchase pass when you reach level 30. You can have have all the premium pass with only one 250FC purchase.

I believe this is correct because in csgo people pay for a battle pass and i think it rewards them with items that would otherwise cost way more money. So if anything i guess we could look at it as a coupon ?

[Nuriyokan]

ok so I'm guessing that you spend money on the battle pass that gets you the ability to then participate in a challenge that then rewards you with the expensive item, which is like a coupon that saves you money . You'd probably have to spend more money otherwise and the reward here would be the opportunity in which you'd use said opportunity to showcase skills. In doing so you'd " earn " what would normally cost more money but you'll be able to get the item because you paid for the pass thus saving money. I think that's correct right ? If so then i stand corrected.

You spend 250 fighter coins on the premium reward of the battle pass and when you complete it, it gives you back 250 for you spend on the next pass essentially.
