After decades of climate deception, Shell uses Fortnite to court demographic most concerned about climate change::undefined
It’s a common shortcut in at least some parts of the US to say “I paid for X and got Y for free” … everybody knows it really wasn’t “for free”. It’s just easier than “and got Y for no additional charge”, “and they didn’t charge me anything extra for Y”, etc.
I appreciate that, but that’s not what was being said.
They were saying that fortnite was free with an optional battle pass. Or you can pay for a package which gives you skins and coins and then the battle pass if free. But you aren’t paying for skins and coins and getting a free battle pass. You are paying for a battle pass, skins, and coins. That’s just the cost. There’s no deal or money off or “for no additional cost” it costs more to get the battle pass with the skins and coins.
What you said might be true, but you are talking about something else. This person mis-spoke.
