I'm sure I'm not the only one that is frankly Fed up with games making In-game items that become Unobtainable basically Bloating Game data needlessly (not including seasonal holiday items).

Timed Exclusive Twitch Drops are a Perfect example of this. I'm not talking about Freebies i mean they are unobtainable Through in-game means or even as a store item at a reasonable cost compared to the other store items.

Another Example Are The Timed BattlePass Items But this it two fold, I'm amazed it has been aloud to get to this point but in what world is it not theft taking access to something payed for purely because the buyer didn't no-life the game it was bought in, and this is made worse when they also become unobtainable bloating game data.

Im not asking For things to be Free without effort or "Currency" i would just like to see the customer not getting screwed and Stem the ridiculous amount of FOMO and storage bloat In modern games(be even better if games have a cosmetic free debloated version for download). Ideally Battle-passes would always be purchasable for those that want to buy and put time into them but baby steps.

Please Valve, Help better the industry for the players...

wrong forum, for games, please post your question in the games own forum or contact the publisher directly. This is a STEAM related sub-forum, to discuss Ideas and suggestions for valve to make to the steam User Interface on the App, client and website and online steam services.

Absolutely not. It is not Valve's place to determine what content is made available to players, outside of content of questionable legal morality.

You not wanting to camp your browser on a Twitch channel for a couple of hours to get some unique pixels in a game is nobody's problem but your own.

Steam isn't going to dictate how devs run their business in their games.

And as much as it may suck, FOMO is a very tangible thing devs use to boost sales.

At a time when games weight into the hundreds of gigabytes. a space used by a couple in-game items are a drop in the ocean

Timed exclusives not being available to purchase after the timed event ends is not going to change and Valve can not force dev/pubs to change this.

Even Valve themselves has done this.

This treatment is inarguably abusive but I think you are optimistic expecting one games merchant company to protect you from the abuses of other merchants.

It's not like Valve games lack lots of FOMO items themselves.

Valve does not own the ip to 3rd party games to dictate what is available nor whether it is timed etc.

Take Diablo III on the Battlenet app for example. You either engaged in and take part in a Season whilst it is available and obtain xyz rewards or you do not.

If you do not engage then you opted not to have those xyz rewards so why should you then receive them when others took the time to actually obtain them, when the whole point of a Season is to drive engagement and challenge those who want to see their name on a leaderboard.

I personally have zero rewards from any Season because it is a mechanic i have zero interest in.
