Fans Buy Uneaten Pizza for Invincible Vs Game Cosmetic
Players of the fighting game Invincible Vs are purchasing slices of a promotional Burger Mart Supreme pizza from Prince Street Pizza solely to obtain an exclusive in-game cosmetic skin for the character Mark Grayson. The promotion requires buying a slice or whole pie to receive a redemption code. Although the US-based pizza chain only has locations in major cities like New York, Chicago, Las Vegas, and Miami, fans outside these areas are ordering remotely via phone. These customers pay eight dollars for the item but instruct staff to discard the food, as they only desire the digital code sent via image. This workaround, highlighted by a Reddit user, has sparked mixed reactions online, with some praising the dedication while others criticize spending money on a virtual item without receiving the physical product. Eurogamer has contacted Prince Street Pizza to inquire about the volume of such orders and the disposal of uneaten food. The game, released last month, has received positive reviews on Steam, indicating strong fan engagement despite the controversial nature of this promotional campaign.
