Players of the popular video game, "League of Legends", have been left disappointed after receiving literal fish bones instead of the promised free fishbones - the iconic rocket launcher featured in the game. This surprising turn of events has left Riot Games in hot water, with fans taking to social media to express their confusion and outrage.
Many players were expecting to receive a digital code that would unlock the fishbones item in-game, but instead, they received a package in the mail containing actual fish bones. Some reported the bones coming from different fish breeds, while others received broken and mangled bones with no indication of their origin.
Rumors have spread like wildfire on social media, with people claiming that Riot Games must have been going through some tough times financially. Others speculate they wanted to add a more realistic touch to the game by sending players real fishbones instead of a digital image of it.
Regardless of the reasons behind it, fans have made themselves heard. One user, @lolesportsfan99, took to Twitter to voice their frustration, saying "Riot Games, what am I supposed to do with ACTUAL FISH BONES?? I can't shoot them at my enemies in game. This is ridiculous."
But the players are not the only ones who are unhappy with this situation, as a marine biologist chimed in to say "This situation is a sad reminder of the inefficiencies of the food industry. I'm concerned for what these fish bones have been taken from and how the rest of the fish were used."
While Riot Games has yet to respond to this fishy situation, one thing is certain, fans of the game are not taking this lightly. It remains to be seen how Riot Games will make amends for this blunder but we can only hope it's something more satisfying than a crate of prawn shells.
