Why no free Doom Wolf mount for consoles?

So PC/Mac players get a free Doom Wolf mount for winning 3 games of the Elder Scrolls: Legends card game but console players get nothing yet again.

Why do console players keep getting overlooked for promotions like this?

It's extremely unfair and downright upsetting for ZOS to keep ignoring those player bases.

    And then you have to link your cell phone to legends and your legends to eso, which is another factor of authentication that they don't have to do.

    To give something away on PC its literally as easy as sending an email to anyone who purchased on PC with a link to download. If they do that and jump through a hoop, they get a code for a wolf which is automatically redeemed into their inventory.

    For console, they would have to send you an email to hope you click on it on your phone and then install on your phone to do what? Entice you to play legends on your phone away from your console and ESO?

    They give you things to make you stay on the platform they are marketing to you on, sure its the same company but they are competing internally for your eye budget.

    I was legitimately asking if legends was on console because that would be a significantly easier marketing campaign to run, which would then make sense to ask why you didn't get it. If it's not and you have to go off platform then it's obvious why you are not included.

    FWIW, you also have to own Elsweyr. Dont know if i can afford to buy it this month either. Couldn't last month. Maybe not this month. Maybe not for 10 more months as i pay to remodel the kitchen in my apartment so that it's presentable. Recently got a new landlord (the slum lord solds the building) so maybe i can have stairs down the back that are safe to walk up and down - the condition they are in now has failed inspection three times and i fell on them once, breaking two fingers and and my wrist.

    point is. I can only afford to pay when i have the resources. cheer up. you could be living in this dump with few or no options to move out.

    Even if i could buy Elsweyr, ESO is so time intensive i dont think i have any spare to play legends or whatever the other game is. If i could give away a doom mount to a console player, maybe that would be the thing to do. Dont think its possible though.

    The only plus side to this is the furnished option, other than that I'm happy I didn't have to pay for it. I've furnished mine better than what they give anyways, and it's more personal.

    My Bethesda account is linked to my Xbox account, so I cannot see any reason why they couldn't offer the free mount to console players as well as PC.

    Get used to it. Even though console is more than half of the community we get treated like second class citizens. And imo it all comes down to effort. Things are easier to do on pc, and for pc players, so zos just pretends like console doesnt exist when it comes to certain things. Its the easy way out, but this is zos.

    Anyone knows if the code you get is account bound or works only on pc or if people who don't have Elsweyr can still use it?
    Because if not I can make a console player happy with a doom wolf code since I already have it.

    You are not reading what I am saying. Bethesda offers games on the console for you to consume. If legends is not on the console itself there is no reason to market legends related activities to those that would have to leave the platform and do those activities on another platform to get rewards on the platform the game isn't even on.

    It makes 0 sense, they would just be giving things away for free or even worse causing you to stop playing eso and play legends off platform entirely

    On PC, that mount has been given away for free on so many other occasions already, literally everyone I play with has it already. At a Gamescom a few years ago they were handing out codes for it like candy, friends of me are occasionally streaming ESO on Twitch and can't even use the codes they still have for giveaways because every viewer has it. :|

    If anyone needs a doom wolf code on PC just send me a message, I still have like ten or so.
    If you can't even spell sets, locations and items, you probably have no clue what you even are talking about.

    I got it for free when they offered it as an exclusive mount from pre-ordering the dark brotherhood DLC on Legends, I was pretty annoyed when they put it in the crown store.

    (And now they give the same mount that I have for years, again)

    Hey, btw. does winning any three games includes winning 3 story mission matches? Or do I have to do something else, like compete against some other player?
