The other two haven't been released yet, but will eventually, hence the "Available Soon" tag above the others

Good to know, make sure to cancel it before the trial is up. If you do get charged, a ticket to Amazon support should fix that

That’s actually so scummy

I'd agree, if it wasn't something that was already a cash shop item. Even if it's been removed, the fact that it was a cash shop item and strictly cosmetic makes it not really a big deal.

If it was a previously removed mount that was not available on the cash shop, or a something like that? Yeah, that'd be obnoxious.

The scumbaggery of it has more to do with blizzard incentivizing you to give your gaming history/habits/information to amazon so they can then sell that information to marketers and further cement the transition of the internet from a fun place to be to just another avenue through which you get served ads.

Giving people a digital product for free when other people paid a couple bucks for it like 5 years ago is just kinda... whatever, honestly.

It might have been a cash shop item, but being expansion locked should have been kept. If you didn’t play in mop and buy it, you don’t deserve it

They were removed from the shop in 2019. What kinda EA level pride and accomplishment shit are you on about?

I didn't even know it was removed until recently.

Out of every item for people to possibly complain about being brought back in some way, cash shop items that people complained about existing in the first place are the last I'd imagine.
