DBDs exploitation of FOMO

The game is already made up for 95 percent paid content, and flooded with overpriced mtx based cosmetics and battle passes which if you miss, you might get the privilege of being able to buy a year later of you are lucky.

But now we are doing cosmetics only available for a little while at Halloween, Christmas etc? This is a attempt to pressure players into giving into their fomo and paying up which is degusting.

    To be fair I don't really get the FOMO Issue if it comes to cosmetics. Like we are talking about dressing a character which does not give you any benefit. And like why would someone be mad just because they couldn't get a cosmetic in a game ? Like either buy it and support the devs or don't buy it and set a standard for yourself - which is totally fine.

    And having Halloween Cosmetics only on Halloween in Sale is nothing crazy and nothing new. The only problem issue I see is that they argued on twitter that they don't want to create something for P100 Players as a reward because of FOMO.

    How having horror cosmetics only on Halloween for a horror-themed game justifiable? This is ridiculous, there is no defending it.

    Because it's an event. It's the same like having christmas themed outfits only available in december. It's a pretty basic concept that we face day by day.

    In physical retail, perhaps. But not on digital stores, it's contradictory. There are no supply issues for a digital good so why should there be limited availability? It's just disguised NFT stuff.
