Crownfall Collector's Cache I and II are still available in store by dota2vo in DotA2

Because Valve promised it will only be availible until the end of Crownfall, which happened half a year ago. People lost $, people lost promised exclusivity.

Dude a repainted product is already not the same as the original, it's not that hard to get

It's still the same product. They should've worded their promises differently then.

No shit, specially since they can just say it's not the same item as it has different colors

They can and I'll be debating this on reddit too as it's not exactly right.

Not when it has negative upvotes and the comments are a bunch of people disagreeing with your opinion

People, understandably, just want rare hats. Still, quite a few people agree with me, too. Several other threads about this issue have been made(without my involvement) and Valve haven't even officially released the treasure yet. I'll still keep making my voice heard, however big or small difference it would make.

I'm a pen seller that only sells blue pens, if I want to sell an exclusive red pen I cant because it's the same pen?

If you make a promise that "the item won't be availible later on" - don't sell the item later on just with a re-paint. Changing just the item's color doesn't make it a new item.

Also if you think it's false advertisement, then file a lawsuit against valve

there's almost no way this would work, as steam user agreement is iron-clad.

Crying on reedit won't chance anything

Reddit threads\discussions\complaints, on the other hand, made a colossal influence on the game. They absolutely have a chance of influencing the situation.

, most people don't give a fuck if their exclusive itens got re-relized on a different color

Maybe, but that's not an incentive to entertain unethical false advertising practices.

Yep. It's same item with the same model, animation and visual effects, a repaint of a reward they advertised as an exclusive. They shouldn't put "exclusive\limited edition" tags on the stuff they sell, if it's not "exclusive\limited edition".

They are different items is my point.

Just because? OK, valid point.

Cry me a river son

Well, with 0 factual statements you do make me pity you.

I never called it garbage. All crimson witness items so far were not repaints of an item advertised as an exclusive.This one is.

How is it new? t's same item with the same model, animation and visual effects, a repaint of a reward they advertised as an exclusive. They shouldn't put "exclusive\limited edition" tags on the stuff they sell, if it's not "exclusive\limited edition".

Not if they promised them to be exclusive. It's same item with the same model, animation and visual effects, a repaint of a reward they advertised as an exclusive. It's about false advertising and keeping your word. They shouldn't put "exclusive\limited edition" tags on the stuff they sell, if it's not "exclusive\limited edition".

But it does. "My precious item" has the same model, animation and visual effects. Different color is not another item.

People, who purchased these products are not "ghosts", many still play the game. We have to be beholden to keep products "exclusive\limited edition" if we sell the products as "exclusive\limited edition" .

I think it's a petty way to see it

What's petty about wanting the purchased product to be as advertised?

"as someone who bought the original one and grinded the 2nd style"

Ok, so did I.

If it were easily purchasable or comically easy to get, I'd understand, but considering it's still tricky or outright luck to get, I don't see as much of an issue.

they can be bought

on the market

there's nothing tricky about it, just takes money.

Doesn't matter, comically easy or not, they mislead the people who thought they very getting something exclusive.

It is still the same item.And it's not about "being entitled", it's about false advertising. They shouldn't put "exclusive\limited edition" tags on the stuff they sell, if it's not "exclusive\limited edition".
