The hallowed blight: in search for more money

I'm happy how the devs planned this wonderful event. The cosmetics that have been designed are really cool. I'd have been happier, if the devs actually allowed players to get one set each for your favorite killer and survivor. I mean, that way, there are still 5 outfits to earn from. 
Also, it would have made sense, especially for PS4 players, where there's no regional pricing, like it's on steam.

Yes, they need to create a holiday event and charge for the majority of skins because they're a small studio and can barely afford to pay the bills.

Why not create a completely free event thanking the players for their support over the past year? Maybe build some good will so people will opt to buy their other cosmetics instead of building animosity making some players (myself) dig in their heels and actively refusing to buy cosmetics?

The crux of the issue isn't the price of cosmetics, the availability of events, the quantity of event cosmetics, or whether to thank our lucky stars they are doing the event in the first place.... It's that the devs deliberately took what has traditionally been a free event for the players and monetized it. The skins are available indefinitely from the store making the achievement of unlocking them worthless.

Business is business and we can understand that. This is borderline predatory marketing, and a sign of what's to come if we continue to support this kind of behavior.

Couldn't agree more...

look I get you guys need money to continue developing and stuff. But this is an event for the community and you only give us 3 items and we are done? You guys just said on stream it’s a one and done thing. Oh but you can give us $ for the skins. I expect very good things to come in the future for this game or else I won’t be buying any skins

It's almost like Behavior is a business that runs for profit, instead of your personal entertainment alone.

While I do agree entertainment is an important factor of a gaming company, there isn't anything wrong with gaining profit for your product. Both should be important factors with entertainment taking priority while ensuring the game can sustain itself and its employees that allow for the game to be worked on.

Personally in my opinion I can understand the decision here, I would've liked to have been able to get at least two cosmetics out of the event as otherwise it's going to be very difficult for me to pick between some of these skins but realistically speaking we do at least get to pick the character we get the cosmetics for and we get 3 pieces rather than 1 per character for 2 characters. With that being said, I think we should be happy that we are at least getting a full outfit for the character of our choice. With that being said, I have no clue how much the company is already making off of skins or DLC's, the costs of the game but I would imagine they have a decently justified reason to not just allow us to grind every single skin in the game. I think though that overall this is an event with good intention that has just been misinterpreted.

Here is a list of the last event skins.
I used my awesome paint skills.

People are forgetting that BHVR is a company. Companys dont have emotion they need profit.

Im fine that they have them all monetized because these are some of the best skins we have ever seen in this game it would be stupid to not try and monetize it to pay the people who make those skins.

For people saying that everyone is just being spoilt and greedy, it's got nothing to do with that. It's not even about how many cosmetics we get. Yes, we don't usually get 3 cosmetics (although as illustrated above, they did that for the Lunar New Year, and that was all for free for the record). People are upset because:

a) As @SpaceCoconut said, they're monetising something which was traditionally free for all players, not to mention that they never gave any indication until this stream that the majority of the unlockables would not be free.
b) Because even though 3 is more than we sometimes get, it feels like less. No matter how much we play, we can only get 11% of the available cosmetics and we have to pay for the rest, whereas previously if you grind enough you have always been able to unlock 100% of the event cosmetics.

While i kinda agree with you, you have to be honest and show everything.

Like the 1st Anniversary Events, for example :

I gave a link to the source.
Btw. most of the skins were simply reskins. Nothing even close to what we get now.
