When it comes to the exclusives.. Give all for free, or none. its that simple...
Legacy is also exclusives. So if brazil claudette and gold feng min and event cosmetics are going to be free. so should legacy.. All or nothing...
please rething this decision devs. its just really stupid
Just cancel all the made codes... thats the fix you need
Legacy stays legacy period. It is for beta players now that said cant wait to wear my exclusives among dumbass entilted ones who payed third party sites to get pixel just to feel special. Lmao

With BHVR giving away these cosmetics is basicaly giving all the old players a big middle finger.
- They never restored lost legacy shirts/pants/heads, because when you mail them all you get is a automatic responds wich is already a disrespect to your older players.
- People went to those events, gotten those codes and the devs said they were "exclusive" so more people came to their LIVE events for cosmetics.
- Even if you didn't go to the events, you could buy a code from someone who didn't want it. So alot of money gets lost there.
- Giving away skins that were in game event exclusives is also giving the people who played for that specific event/time a big middle finger.
Worst of all saying "By giving these cosmetics to everyone, we hope to put an end to shady resellers and scams while also including everyone, regardless of the platform they play on." But not saying what you're actually planning on doing (selling those skins in your own cosmetics shop).
Re-using old skins is a lazy solution for the lack of content this game has. Because with the "New" chapter coming out. What probably be something of a copy of another killer. Since Ghostface is a copy of Myers and the pig combined. Leatherface is a worse version of hillbilly and I'll spare you all the trap killers.
Also it annoys me that you guys are planning on re-selling the skins in the rift pass aswell (for those who missed it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dmFyEKu2CWc at 32:57) Whats the point in buying a rift-pass now?
But the biggest problem is. Why do you guys decide only now that you guys are done with exclusives. If you were planning ending almost all exclusive items from the beginning, you're the biggest scammers of all the "shady resellers".
Also, i'm kinda done with the game now. It's time for an actual change BHVR. No more lousy cosmetic updates. Add something like a new gamemode what has been requested back in beginning of 2017.
Thank you for reading.
Salty much about few pant and shirts ? Lol cant wait to wear mine after update and walk among the chosen ones haha

Code exclusives are fine, I own a few and understand why you are giving them to everyone
But please reconsider giving away event exclusives, since a lot of people put a lot of effort in getting them and can't even retain this cosmetics that prove for how long they have been playing and can even give a nostalgic feeling.
What hard effort? I have earned them all in few days killer and survivors lol free for all take it people it wasnt hard to get be happy

Are those who just realised that they made a very dumb decision to buy them for huge amount of money. They have difficulties to admit that to themselves, therefore they project their mistake towards the devs to feel better.
I'm not talking about event exclusives, that's obviously a different discussion.
Are people who dont feel special anymore and above others anymore and if they really want to support devs they can go to ingame store spend hundreds of dollars like me that actually go in devs hands not some dodgy sites third party scammers I love behaviour and these decisions they make just for these entilted salty people that cry over few shirts and pants :)

Before I start, I personally have not been greatly affected by the developer's decisions to open many of the in-game exclusives up to the whole playerbase as I only have a few of them. However, I would argue there are so many flaws with making this decision, with many of their justifications seemingly contradicting each other. Although I believe it is a nice gesture to those joining the game who never had the chance to grab these exclusives and to those on console, it is a complete slap in the face for many of the loyal players who have gotten these exclusives.
As a company, their duty is to protect their customers from any scams or dubious schemes in relation to their own product. Of course it's not just on their part, there is also a responsibility of the customer their self. However, ultimately BHVR is in control of how their codes/products are distributed and I would argue that they have failed at trying to put a stop to these shady dealings. Their main reasoning behind this decision is to put an end to the "black market" of DBD. What vexes me is that they have done this THREE years after some of the release dates of the exclusives. Many of these codes no longer exist and the damage of scams has already been done. Why did they not simply release them around the introduction of the store? BHVR has been aware of these black markets for years yet are only choosing NOW to take some action. My answer: because their choice to do this is simply business and profit orientated. They are satisfying 60% - give or take - of the current active playerbase who will happily take free cosmetics. Yet, by doing this, they are enraging many of the loyal fans of the game who have earned or come by these cosmetics in one way or another (e.g. competitions - many of these codes were given to players who participated in art competitions, attending PAX, purchasing them etc.).
Additionally, I believe they are STILL failing to put a complete end to the DBD black market. I have the Bloodletting shirt which was obtainable through purchasing an item from the DBD store before a certain time period. I find that there is a certain hypocrisy with the developer's logic in not releasing this exclusive too. There are still codes for this shirt being sold on the black market. There will still be accounts sold so people can get their hands on legacy. There is still the potential to sell Hype Nea and Ohmwrecker Wraith cosmetics. You are still failing to prevent the immoral selling of these codes. The justification for keeping Bloodletting exclusive is that the player had to purchase something whereas, for example, Golden Feng was simply a free cosmetic code for those who attended PAX, used to draw players into their new game. In a hypothetical scenario, someone may have spent good money on going to PAX simply to visit the DBD stall and get the exclusive - just because it was a freebie for attending it, it does not mean the player did not spend a lot of money to get it.
On the other hand, event exclusives in the game are another topic of discussion. Although some of these events never made it to console, it does not justify why these are being released to everyone, especially on PC. I can understand for console players, even with the code exclusives, however, the PC version of the game embodies the history of DBD as a game and players (like myself) who have been there from the start and EARNED these cosmetics in what was advertised as a 'limited event' have been marginalised by the developers. They are simply dismissing something that was earned at a specific point in DBD history - they are effectively meaningless now. Many people use these cosmetics to demonstrate how long they have had their account and simply taking these away from them with no form of compensation is unjust to those who have stayed loyal and supported a team of developers that are now straying away from their original fans and focusing on their influx of new players.
My solution to this: give those with existing exclusives a slightly different version. This retains the exclusivity of the original yet still allows newer players to enjoy the general look of the cosmetic. The difference does not need to be enormous (think Legacy Championship Riven from LoL which was identical except for a crown). At the very least, make all the free exclusives common cosmetics while those who got them before their release get to keep them at ultra-rare rarity. The loyal players of this game need to be compensated in some shape or form. It does not need to be anything huge but simply dismissing the loyalty of certain fans and their cosmetics is shameful on BHVR's part. They should never have made the decision to make exclusives - that was a poor business decision and, unfortunately, it is the players most loyal to them that are now being affected because of their idiocy.
Side note: I don't know for sure if this is true but apparently all of the Rift's items will eventually be available next year. If this is not the case, then BHVR are still releasing exclusives to the game (e.g. the final reward of the premium Rift pass). Additionally, they recently released an exclusive on the Switch version of the game for The Trapper which is, again, hypocritical to their supposed aims of including ALL platforms.
TL;DR - BHVR have done their most loyal fans a disservice, are still failing to put an end to the DBD black market and show little care for those who have earned event exclusives.
They said no more platform exclusives period. I play this game since release on ps4 that makes me and thousand others " loyal players " and we deserve just as anyone else some kind of recognition and we got it, I have earned all event cosmetics and I dont mind them giving it away free to other people to make them happy and play the game more if you want exclusives go in store spend hundreds of dollars and get uniqe outfits those ARE exclusives you paid to support the dev and have uniqe items the exclusives you are refering to are free for all gift from devs that said, legacy and streamers cosmetics will remain locked for real og players as it should be, now be happy that devs made others happy and stop whining with posts like this.
