Wattson recolor in store is meant for CYBER SECURITY , not Strange Attractor!

Again you do this...you did the same thing with Bangalore which you ended up fixing a few days later, this re skin is in the store for 3 more days. I have Cyber security. I do not have strange attractor and im not spending 24 dollars for it. Please fix this. 

I am starting to think this is done deliberately so that people are pressured into spending money when they shouldn't have to.  This is the recolor of the Cyber Security wattson skin. The pattern is identical. Strange Attractor has absolutely no similarity. 

This skin goes off the store in 2 days and 14 minutes. I hope this gets fixed before then. Im not the only one that is annoyed by this. You did the same mistake with the Bangalore skin earlier in the season and you did end up fixing it after a few days. But that skin was in the store for 6 days. This one...not even a full 2 and a half left.

    Hey there. 

    Apologies for the delayed reply on this. 

    I've forwarded this up for a look. Thanks for the reports.

  • @EA_Kent No, it was intended to be honest. Cyber Security already had a recolor and Strange didn't. So the required skin always rotates.

    I already own Cyber Security and it was to the Yellow Recolor version that looked like a Clown.

    @Leo_the_Lion25 The yellow one? I like that one. It's one of my favs.

    It does look like a recolor of Cyber Security but Bionic Wonder was the alternate originally. But it would seem this is a recolor of a previous recolor. The color is nice. But. Strange Attractor has a different body suit style and facial mark pattern that is not shared with the alternate. I still like it though it should really be that of Strange Attractor with possibly a translucent jacket like from Cyber Security to make it more unique. 

    Also as someone pointed out this isn't the first time with recolor sharing. There have been a few happening lately. 

  • It's not news that EA has become a pay to win movement, even more now they are evolving and introducing pay to feel secure even though you aren't. I have a little IT expertise since I have been working at https://fidusinfosec.com/penetration-testing/red-team/ .Therefore, buying a skin for cyber security purposes looks very ridiculous to me. EA's policy relies on the fact that there are very few gamers who could be aware of their ,,scams" and they use this missinformation as a method to make money. I miss those days when they created actually good games like the Mass Effect trilogy.
