I would like to try to convince BHVR not to give exclusives back for free. First of all if you are going to make exclusive items free it is an all or nothing deal, either bring back all exclusives or none. I looked at the exclusive items you are bringing back and it doesn't include Nea's "HYPE" shirt and I looked to see if it was being sold on Ebay, and it was for 2.5k. Apparently one of the reasons you are bringing back exclusives are because they are being sold for crazy amounts of money, So you have to bring back Nea's "HYPE" shirt if you do this. Also Legacy will most likely be sold for money on Ebay and other websites as well, and in the case of Console fairness it was impossible to get Legacy because the opportunity ended before Console DBD came out so if you do this Legacy needs to come back as well. You can't just keep some exclusives exclusive or else that won't fix the issue those that weren't left out will still be sold for ridiculous amounts of money on Ebay and other websites. So Legacy, Bloodletting, All of it needs to come back. All or Nothing.
One other thing I would like to point out is that it is just a very scummy thing to do, like in the case of Deathgarden, people paid for the game only for you to make it free, now there are some people who say it was their choice to spend the money but if you said "Deathgarden: Bloodharvest is gonna be free later!" No one would actually buy it, also the meg cosmetic would need to be given to the console players as well because PC can get it for free while Console players can't.
Nea's "hype" shirt was exclusive to the streamer DiaTech, and was probably one of the cosmetics that BHVR was unable to release for free due to their agreement with Dia.
The difference with the legacy cosmetics is that they weren't received through codes, but granted to specific users' accounts. This means that you can't sell the skin, you have to sell the account, which is actually illegal on all game platforms that I'm aware of (Steam, Xbox, Playstation). So BHVR don't really need to do anything about that, because Valve, Microsoft and Sony will do it for them.
As for the Bloodletting shirt, that was exclusive to people who spent money in the merchandise store when it first became available, so my guess is that BHVR are reluctant to take that away from people who actually paid for it. I understand the discrepancy between that and the Deathgarden thing, but since I'm not the one who makes these decisions I can't really explain the logic behind that one.
From my understanding, the ones that they are not making free are ones that BHVR either cannot give away due to contractual obligations or they have already said well before this that they will never give them away to everyone for free (Legacy Skins, in this case).

... Do you even know why they made it Deathgarden free?

Dear BHVR, ignore this user please.
No.

"What's next? Are they going to prevent people who bought the game from even playing it?"
:P
Um... probably the really bad player numbers. I last ditch attempt to get people to play the game...
