Free Killzone loot as an apology?

[Calyx]

The SuperStore rotation has now been refreshed to 8 days instead of the 4 that remained. Obviously this whole kit was planned to be part 2 of the Killzone cross-over.

What are your thoughts on this? I'm happy about how the community reacted but I did not expect ArrowHead/Sony to just give it all out for free. Not even as a warbond to unlock using medals. Very weird, did not see this coming.

I'm not convinced that wasn't the plan from the start, considering how incredibly underwhelming the SMG is. It's basically just a worse Knight with insignificantly better recoil; people would have been up in bloody arms if they'd tried to charge actual Creds for the thing. ...More than they were, I mean.

Also, apparently the sniper sucks too, but I don't have room in my loadout for a primary that doesn't bring something useful to the board. Like...spare ammo. Or not needing to be charged to fire. Or a magazine with meaningful capacity relative to the weapon's damage.

I am glad. It shows they listen. But if you think about it, I mean really, really think about it, the way the community reacted was pretty much the definition of Karen behaviour.

Hey man, it was definitely too expensive and anybody who disagrees is incorrect and probably an asskisser, but "I'm going to make my review NEGATIVE because I want everything easy, everything free, and everything NOW" is Karen behaviour.

I kind of feel the same. It was way too fast to do a complete 180 and just give the 2nd set for free.

"We spoke to our friends at gorilla games and..." no you didne. GG had no say in it, Its all sony. sony owns the Killzone IP, sony owns the HD IP.

To be fair. The superstore content was almost 2000 SC. This was 1 part. So the total price would have been about 4000 SC for all Killzone items.

That is steep. Very steep. Considering it would've cost 1000-300 (warbonds containing 300 SC) 700 SC for all the items if it did indeed release as a warbond as leaks had proven.

So that would've equalled the price of AT LEAST 4 warbonds to get the content from just 1.
That is worth reviewbombing for, cuz that's just greedy.

A ♥♥♥♥♥♥ apology that does nothing to actually fix the issue. The pricing was never an issue. Crossovers are soulless trash.

The pricing was the main issue, the world doesnt revolve around you, lol

I kinda like the SMG and the Helghast armors.

Well, free for active players, if you didn't have the game or were inactive during the gift wave, you just don't get it.
