Lost Coins

[odin13]

Does one earn coins for purchasing a game? I didn’t notice during my first few purchases whether or not my coin count was increasing. Prior to my latest purchase I began suspecting that coins were not being given to me for buying a game. Today I decided to pay attention to my coin count when I bought the game. My coin count did NOT increase. If you are not supposed to earn coins when you buy something & only earn coins just for logging in, then priorities are a little screwed up. Please explain how the system works & if you are supposed to earn points for buying games. If so, could you please adjust my coin count accordingly for the number of games in my account, I have purchased a number of games here…

The point of coins is to get you coming back daily to look at the daily deals and possibly discover games you’d never heard of, instead of just coming here when you hear a game you already want is on sale here. Coins are not a reward for buying games - the game and the warm feeling of having saved money are the rewards for that!

There is indeed no coin reward for purchasing games, so don’t worry, there is no bug on your side

^this right here

I think it has been suggested a few times

in the beginning i was a bit dense , and thought the +bonus mentioned on coin page was gained if purchasing a game (i was so wrong on that lol), and made me bang my head against the desk each time i purchased a game without either logging in, or after already having clicked coin lol
i was kinda relieved when i learned the bonus was just a random amount, and not in any way tied in to purchase

the idea of getting bonus coins for purchase has indeed been suggested, and seems to be something that would make sense. And getting something say like +100 bonus coin per 1$/x$ spend would seem mighty nice and appealing too i bet, but for now that’s not the case
( i can’t remember Chrono’s response to the whole, adding coins bonus to purchase thingy, but i’m pretty sure they touched on it in a post somewhere some time ago)

and even without extra bonus coins for purchase it’s still okay, and there is also the sense of this[quote=“eishiya, post:3, topic:5815, full:true”]

buying a game either on a (desired) impulse purchase or with good discount on Chrono always inspires joy-joy feelings in me
tbh (even when/if i don’t buy) Chrono’s daily deals function sorta like steam’s discovery que for me, just much much better
