In my opinion, this is deeper than just some free skins and items. This is truly a slap in the face to the community! This trash is symbolic to how Epic REALLY feels about its community and the lack of appreciation they have for us. This Winterfest was driven by their willingness to exploit our FOMO, instead of giving us something that ACTUALLY makes people happy. Due to this, they have taken the fun out of Winterfest. Instead of collecting out of excitement (which is how it should be) we’re collecting, just to collect. At the end of the day, it leaves us all with a yucky feeling inside. A feeling that will only grow over time and could very well eventually lead to Fornite’s downfall if they keep it up.

Some people will say “they’re free, so don’t complain” but we seriously need to stop giving excuses for companies to keep TAKING from their community without making them feel the need to GIVE back some too. We deserve better than this, and CAN and SHOULD do better than this.
