Why are pop culture characters being added?

[gripatorts -rng]

I thought this game was about gods and stuff. I didn't play in ~5 years so I'm out of touch but still, kinda weird for me.

[Determined Man]

Because crossovers = big bucks



besides, SMITE skins have always been pretty wack.

[Sora Kurumatani]

bc there sellouts

[Zephyrus Gaiden]

Cause crossovers drive alot of revenue which in turn helps keep the game a float.

There just skins... 5 years back they had similar skins that made no sense in the game either.

And if your meaning Cthullu, yeah hes a literary creation from modern times but he still more or less works in the setting (and i was one of the people who rolled my eyes and groaned when they announced his inclusion originally).

Now they need to add Deus Ex Machina too, given they adding stuff that who created knew it was not real, the old stuff when was made up, they actually believed it was real, but things like cthulhu the guy who wrote it, knew it was not real, the ones reading too, so they may even add any anime character that says its a god too u.u

They are skins. You can still play with the original skin, you just have the option to play the gods with different visuals.

i mean none of them are real

Cause those battle passes sell like hot cakes and also open the game up to a bigger audience. The avatar one brought in a lot of new players. Not sure how many actually stick around though.

agree. sad how dev sell their souls for money and not caring about us who play their game.

This is an argument i keep seeing over and over which makes literaly no sense. Let me ask you something, if a fastfood chain that didn't sell burgers started selling burgers, would you call them sellouts that didn't care about their customers?

They are people like everyone else who work to make money, they are not a non profit charity. If people didn't really want it, they wouldn't sell and if it didn't sell they would stop making them. Apparently it sells. You don't have to buy the skins or play with certain gods.

The crossovers and skins are what keeps the game alive, can we please for the love of god stop "calling them out" for doing what they set out to do from the begining? You could focus on bugs, or the UI or whatever else but the argument on making a lot of skins or adding non-god characters doesn't really make sense when it's literaly a company like any other trying to make money.

Just Fyi the 2 above posts are not me, it is a impersonator though ironic that he making good person posts here overall and how he is himself doing selfish sold soul things o wells just letting it be known.

ie:
