Not only that, they choose to have Apocalypse (death and destruction) to help celebrate a joyous holiday... Totally tone deaf. It's not like they would use Cap, Stark, and BW to represent black history month...<End rant>

They probably didn't even bother to consider what the tradition actually represents and simply made the store based on the fact that lots of retailers offer bundles for this holiday. I'm also going to assume they don't shut down the office in honor of the holiday, nor have a celebratory employee party, and or give business gifts to their business partners celebrating the holiday like most business in asia.Lets be clear about that distinction. In the US, many business shutdown for Thanksgiving/Christmass, sponsor employee dinners and either send cards or gifts to various partners acknowledging the holiday. That's what I mean by having a business celebrate a holiday. Having them simply say Happy Thanksgiving/Merry Christmass is a hollow slogan if they don't follow the expected traditions.That said the majority of the player base (at least the US/European part) probably doesn't really celebrate the holiday either. So I wouldn't necessarily blame a US based software company to observe Asian holidays. We should all acknowledge that Tencent doesn't celebrate 4th of July nor give their employees time off/sponsor 4th of july celebrations.To be honest, this is just a fan favorites store that can be offered 3 times a year and associated with the closest holiday. So have a store in February, June, Oct. Call the Oct Store, the Anniversary celebration, The February-store the Lunar/spring celebration, and the June store the Summer/4th of july celebration (do it last week in june . Your right to call out their justification, but we should acknowledge its a good store for most players and at least they didn't accidentally post a picture of their chopsticks sticking straight up in a bowl of rice. And realize their real motive is to get players to spend cash on offers and use up cp.
