Into the rainbow "rewards" 25???

So I just wanted to bring up the fact that there were a couple cosmetic rewards during this event. However, they are only available to those who were prepared to receive them and had a method of typing a code the fastest. So that means if you have an intellectual or physical disability then you're probably out of luck. But seriously, 25? Are you aware of how many people actually play your game? Reward 25 by disappointing thousands. Personally I believe that to be a terrible practice. Maybe I am being a sore loser as someone who was prepared to enter the codes and got nothing. Appreciate the representation though.

    With things like this we tried to do a mixture to give thanks to the people that were in the Stream and were donating. We did BP codes that are available to everyone and yes whilst we had to limit the cosmetic codes, we made it as fair as possible and also did console specific codes. It's unfortunate that we have to do a first come first served and it's always sad when people lose out.

    I didn't even know it was happening. Whoops. Guess I'm out of cool stuff for forever, for no reason.

    There were no stream exclusive cosmetics. They gave out a total of 50 Valentines David outfits, 75 Shirtless David outfits, and I don't know how many Haddies and Dredges.

    It's unfortunate, and they could have bumped the numbers up, but I understand why they're not willing to give out unlimited paid content. I was personally quite happy that they had console-specific codes this time, as there had previously been an issue with codes being much slower to type without keyboards and it being impossible to snatch time-limited codes on console as a result. As it is, everyone who was present had the same shot of getting them.

    I think it would be less frustrating to most people if these types of donated rewards were done in a sort of raffle, like, I'm almost sure Twitch offers the tools to do so (I've seen it done before but not sure if it was something done through Twitch or a third party "random picker"), but anyways, free stuff is free stuff, I don't think it's worth arguing at all about it since sometimes you get lucky and sometimes someone else does, but that's just a suggestion anyway :)
