This discussion has happened a bunch of times before, so let’s try to sum this up a bit to circumvent the entire thing happening all over again;
Those who have been playing the game since the early days have had a long time to enjoy it, while those who chose to wait (or had to wait because they were on PC) had to satisfy their interest in KI by watching others play until this past April. We have been supporting the game, but that doesn’t mean that we are entitled to every single thing which is ever created. Even outside of games, very few things work that way. Let’s say I have owned every iPhone, from the original up through the current iPhone7. When the iPhone7S gets released and it has a brand new double-speed charger (all of this is just a theoretical example), I am not entitled to the new charger simply because I have owned all the other phones.
Those who purchase the KI figures also get codes for unique skins which can’t be gained otherwise; those who choose not to purchase the figures aren’t entitled to a free figure or the skins simply for having supported KI since the start.
Those who purchased the DE edition got a code for Gold and Platinum Gargos, as well as DE exclusive content (as you listed above). Anyone who didn’t choose to purchase the DE is also not entitled to anything which came in it. The price for the DE was lower and it has some cool exclusive stuff in it, but if you waited to buy the game until the DE came out, you missed out on the fun times you could have had playing the game or experiencing new content being periodically added in! The Gold Pack 2 is an added bonus, but looks to be contingent on whether you have redeemed the Gold/Platinum Gargos skin on your account, so technically someone could acquire the skin without purchasing the DE and end up getting the Gold Pack 2 for free (I assume).
I can completely understand wanting everything KI has to offer (I do myself) but I also understand the draw of reduced prices and exclusive content for new purchasers. Any new surprises (like the new Thunder skin) that they decide to give out to everyone is awesome, and I hope we get a ton more! I just don’t think it’s logical to expect to be given everything simply for having been around since S1, at least for a game like KI. If this was a subscription-based game (an MMO or something similar) I could see “legacy rewards” being essentially required, but buying Season 1 didn’t entitle me to a free Season 2 or Season 3, you know?
@TheRealSkyle There was absolutely nothing wrong with your posts and sharing your opinion about this, I just want to temper it with the “results” of previous discussions and try to head a repeat off at the pass.
