In every game I ever played, no matter how loyal, how much money I spend—the no second chances on Limited Time/Edition items is my biggest pet peeve and disappointment. In so many games/apps/etc. I ask, and almost all of them won't return or give second chances, but the ones that do (and it was very few) really didn't upset anyone who got it the first/official time.
IRL Limited Time/Edition items, I get and understand that bringing back is a rarity (as if a collab there are legality issues, and re-production has it's own issues), but in the digital world I feel it is more an insult and unscrupulous greed from game developers. Even if there is a grace period like a year before allowing others a second chance, or adding in a patch/update—I think that could be fair.
In Genshin Impact, decorative and gameplay items that are initially limited to events become available to everyone after a few months. Also, now that I think about it, GI has very few hyper-specific bugs that are very difficult to replicate. You have to go out of your way to find a bug in that game, and it's 5 years old. In the sims, you literally just have to play and you will find dozens of glaring bugs and oversights.
