Why would you go back on your word

So I'm really cheesed off. The devs shouldn't have stated anything about the BBQ cosmetics or the Lunar cosmetics if they were only going to go back on their words later.

Some people cried because people would get something they already have and that cannot be! Oh no! You had to work on some special gens or hook people on special hooks. How hard. I earned the BBQ cosmetics, doesn't mean that I think no one else who wasn't there shouldn't get them. That's dumb as heck.

What about your new players who couldn't be there for those events? Or the people who missed out because of real life responsibilities?

People who weren't even there still received the First Anniversary cosmetics. And yet these cosmetics have to stay "exclusive." Why?

I honestly greatly prefer the new approach they've taken with event cosmetics, by having them available on the store all the time. So even if you couldn't or didn't want to grind you can still get them later.

I think the least they could do is either release the Lunar and BBQ cosmetics to the shop, for shards I'd say. So people would have to grind for them too and maybe it'd make the crybabies less mad.

Or re-release them every Summer and Lunar New Year, so people can grind for them then.

Either way BHVR you ######### up again.

    The impression I got was that one of the main reasons they were planning to release those particular cosmetics in the first place was technical, because they didn't have a reliable means of attaching them to particular player accounts and not others without the cosmetics randomly disappearing. It was easier at that point to just give them out to everyone and have done with it.

    As they mentioned in the Release Info, though, they recently discovered a way to securely store the cosmetics so that bugs like that don't happen, so just giving the cosmetics to everyone was no longer the best solution to that particular problem, and thus they were able to decide whether or not they wanted to give them out to all players instead of feeling like they needed to for technical reasons.

    So it was less a matter of them going back on their word, and more a matter of their decision being affected by changes in circumstance.
