Issue with Pre-Order Pack Cosmetics

Iirc 375 if for all the cosmetics and all the other stuff, so with 125 being the cosmetics price, the wall is 250. And out of those 250 it's mostly gametime and embers, with 3 keys that I think are about $30-50 each.

Cosmetics are never tangible. Cosmetics are always priced at however greedy the studio is. The fomo is always subjective, so yes, subjectively it could be seen as a terrible way to monetize support of the game.

I personally couldn't give fewer shits about these cosmetics and when I do buy the alpha2 access - I'll be paying for the keys and gametime, because cosmetics are useless to me. So in a way I'd even say that those who pay $250+, but don't care about cosmetics, are paying more than those who feel fomo about some pixels.

This system is even more unfair than I previously thought!! /s

The main "problem" here (though it's not really) is that this has been discussed every other month for the past several years. I'd even imagine it has been discussed since the very beginning of this development. Nothing has changed in that time and nothing will change. The prices are as they are because of kickstarter prices and the cosmetics are as they are because Steven likes them that way (it's a collector thing).

So while we're all free to discuss this for the 100th times, we're also as free to say that the 101st time won't change shit.

I think we can all agree that the system is in no way perfect or maybe even good. You're getting fucked over on the cosmetics and I'm getting fucked over on the keys. But in the words of a mediocre meme

Ah yes, the "love" end of an axe. To their head. Nothing more nothing less.

I'm pretty sure you can just buy the mount if you have the pack lvl that has it. And iirc it costs 20 or 25 bucks.

As for why it's combined. I see it as the best way to make the skins exclusive, while also making sure that people who play alpha2 have a bigger chance of properly testing it because they invested a ton of money into it. If you had those things separated, waaay more people would would cosmetics and way more people would just come to alpha2 to fuck around.

Now, you could argue that "paying to test a game" is a bad practice, but at that point it's just "why should I not sell something that people are willing to pay more for?"
