It is a nice gesture, but does not solve the root of the problem.
One problem is that the shop only refreshes once a week. How about once every 24h or 48h so that we can buy the rewards we want?
Second is the dangling of the paywall in player's faces. Even if mathematically I am in the same situation as before, it just FEELS I am getting screwed. I recon it is to push more spending and I get it, but due to human psychology, it drives people away.
Please fix this, unless your endgoal is to kill the game.
The episode store doesn't refresh, it ends with the episode, for good reason - to prevent people from buying multiple omicrons. You are supposed to be able to buy 3, then be done for that episode.
They could add more stuff to the store though for those with excess currency to spend.
