Petition to bring back Road to Battlefield 6 rewards

It is unfair that the Road to Battlefield 6 cosmetic items were locked behind a limited time event before the release of Battlefield 6 on a completely different game, that being Battlefield 2042.  For me personally, I was busy with other things in life, and could not access this event in time.  I think in general it's a terrible practice in the gaming industry where developers feel the need to constantly lock items behind limited time events (often times PAID events, like battle passes) in order to siphon as much money as possible out of a player base that already paid full price for their game.  I don't know how many other gamers are like me, but when there's a really cool outfit/character/weapon in a game, and I can't unlock it because it's permanently gone behind an event, I almost completely lose all motivation to play said game.  I seriously doubt anyone will agree with me on this forum, but this needed to be said.  Have a good day.

    The whole point of FOMO and exclusive things like that is that it's EXCLUSIVE. It's just useless skins anyway.

    Delete your post.  It advances nothing.   🤣

    I'll add a few thoughts: Unfortunately for everyone, the fomo and battle passes arrived years ago and they are not going to remove it.  Things should be like Helldivers 2 warbonds (buy the battlepass via money or in game currency, finish it at your pace) or Space Marine 2 (if you missed the event for a cosmetic, there is a chance it will appear later to buy in game with in game currency) but sadly they are the exception and not the norm.  Games like Helldivers is a great example, and I've gladly paid for virtually all of the warbonds that Arrowhead has released since the game's launch. If more games had a monetary system like Helldivers 2, then more games would be seeing a lot more of my money and play time.

  • I strongly disagree indeed. What you describe is exactly what’s wrong with gaming nowadays, and it’s not the game developers fault, they’re just exploiting the FOMO of people like you that want everything handed to them. People making a fuzz about cosmetics that do nothing to improve gameplay. Cosmetics when applied don’t even enhance your own gameplay because it’s a FIRST person shooter in which outside of the lobby you don’t even get to see your own skin 🤦🏻‍♂️

    It’s because of this mentality that game developers got lazy. Why bother and invest development time in creating real content like new maps to get earnings if you simply can boost revenue by selling cosmetics, which in worst case can be AI generated?
