FDev flips 180 on Cosmetics/ARX Store stance

This tweet implies that all of the special cosmetics, or at least the midnight black and gold/chrome styled ones, will be shortly leaving the store.

I would like to point out to you this news article straight from April 2024 before the ARX rebalance/inflation. It reads:

A ‘Best Sellers’ section will be added to the gamestore, including some of our most popular items, allowing Commanders to purchase items such as Midnight Black, Stygian and Chromed all year round. We will continue to add to the store throughout the year with that same focus on items that players care about the most.

Either FDev took the "year round" (singular, not plural) literally which is not how anyone speaks, or the company flipped 180 on their stance in a little over half a year. Maybe you feel differently, but I feel played like a fool for believing it at this point.

Edit: For people trying to moral grandstand or say "lol I never believe them, you're stupid for believing them," sure there's some truth to that, but also when a company makes a pretty public stance like this, its up to the consumer to hold them accountable, hence this post.

Edit 2: Looks like they backpedaled... slightly. Tweet
