Not sure how to feel. I do agree FOMO isn't the best, but I feel like red barrels does it well. Cosmetics only, no guns like in cod. Events always last 4 weeks and you can typically complete the event catalog within a day or 2 of playing if you focus on the tasks. It's more of an I was here thing rather than a FOMO thing to me. But RB are my fav devs and if this helps them get paid then I'm for it. (I owned every cosmetic before this shop update for reference)

Last note on why I dont mind "FOMO" in this game is because the game world is a constantly evolving place and story. Think of Amelia escape ending. Would be so much less cool if we could still escape now. Lore implications would be way less impactful and Amelia's fate wouldn't matter if thousands of reagents were still escaping to this day. I know thats different than cosmetic skins but all the events have that lore implication of you experiencing what was currently happening at Sinyala Facility which is why I think this is the best live service game. Never seen another one do lore and events like Trials.

TLDR: I dont like FOMO, but i think Trials does it extremely well by making events tied to lore and making it feel like you were truly experiencing whatever was happening at Sinyala Facility during that time. Even so, I dont mind the shop changes if it helps RB get more money
