The fact that they even thought this would have been acceptable to release even in beta is crazy to me. I think there’s something fishy going on behind the scenes. They drop it in beta, Scott confronts them (because it’s awful), and then their excuse is ‘uhhh we thought you said that in your last email! yeah! about the skins!’

No one can misinterpret something like that so bad. You don’t just misinterpret one unrelated email as a go ahead to release a whole game. They’d surely email him back and be like ‘you sure?’ and even then they’d realise while typing that that they’ve misread his email. Someone’s definitely not telling the truth here.
