Amazon Coin is fast becoming the premier gaming app for purchasing goods like the 'Mech Pack, MechWarrior Credits, etc. I believe it will help enhance the means to buy our packs, etc., and give us the community another safe and secure method in getting those items.

In fact, more than half the community, and myself included, does business with Amazon.com. With this as another option, it will give us the community a more valuable and viable reason to use Amazon instead of the current system: A piece of mind.

More than half the posts I've read say the same. That we need more options in how we want to purchase our items. This is just another one that I feel would be great for business; great for the community; and allow we, the players, to go where we want to and use what means we want to buy our items.

True. We have plenty of options, but some we just don't feel comfortable with. Well, at least, for me, I feel comfortable with those options, however, some in the community don't. Amazon would alleviate this immensely. Please, PGI, ask around, and trust me, you'll find that more half in the community use Amazon Coin. I have already signed up to use it for the Hearthstone game. And I, for one, would love to use this site for MechWarrior Online purchases.

Please, think about this. Plus, ask us how we feel about this. Thank you.

Consider that these Amazon coins might not be that usable or even avaliable in other countries as different laws might apply. And some countries don't even have Amazon officially. Switzerland for example is piggybacking Amazon Germany.

I know. Other countries are getting on the bandwagon as well. Just how long that will take will depend on the Gov't's and Amazon. Still, for those of us who reside in Great Britain, Canada, U.S. and Japan, along with those countries, like the Swiss for instance, it could prove to be another option for those of us that don't care for pay sites like xolla. I have nothing against Xolla, but they've been known to be hacked, etc. Plus, some in the community have had problems with them in the past. I'm not saying its a bad idea, or even a good one. I'm just pointing out that we can more options.

Hell, War Gaming uses Amazon to sell gaming codes. I think that could work as well, if Amazon Coins aren't possible. All I'm asking is that PGI look into using Amazon as another means of paying for the things we want to purchase.
