Fortnite players blast Epic for \u201cunfair\u201d Paradigm skin situation epic gamesThe Fortnite community erupted after the rare Paradigm skin briefly returned to the game, with some players calling the situation \u201cunfair.\u201d The Fortnite community was shocked to see an extremely rare skin return to the game on August 7. Paradigm, previously seen nearly 1,700 days ago in Season X, arrived in the Item Shop out of nowhere. Of course, given the situation, some players who were lucky enough to log in during that specific time window immediately snatched the skin. Initially, Epic planned to remove the skin from recent purchases\u2019 locker as it was unintentional. But not long after, they stated that those who bought the skin could keep it and even get their V-Bucks refunded. Following the situation, many players who didn\u2019t get the chance to cop her skin couldn\u2019t help but blast Epic\u2019s change of mind in a Reddit thread. According to one user, if players can keep the skin, Paradigm should be brought back in the Item Shop to \u201cgive everyone a fair chance.\u201d \u201cThe only reason they pulled it so quickly was because it was a mistake and they intended to take it away from everyone. Now, because they have decided not to, they can\u2019t punish the rest of the people who didn\u2019t have a chance to log on and buy it.\u201d Additionally, players mentioned that this kind of situation just leads to \u201cselectively rewarding some people while punishing others,\u201d hence they demanded devs to put her back in the shop. In the comments, many others agreed with this take. Some even pointed out players who would gatekeep the skin even when they didn\u2019t have it before the incident. \u201cIn EU, shop resets happen at 2 AM, no one is awake at this time so that is really unfair,\u201d replied one user. \u201cGood ol\u2019 \u2018F**** you, I got mine,’\u201d one user wrote. Many players also demanded that the skin should just be given free to everyone. \u201cThe worst part is that the people who grabbed her will be getting her for free since their V-bucks will be returned. Doesn\u2019t that mean everyone should get her for free? Lol. What a joke,\u201d commented one user. \u201cI mean out of the whole thing the scummiest thing is they are apparently refunding the purchasers? Why?!? Huh?!?! If they refund the V-Bucks, they should remove the skin purchased with them or give the skin to all for free,\u201d one chimed in. It\u2019s unknown whether or not something like this will happen again in the future, but for now, Epic has stated that future Battle Pass cosmetics may return to the Item Shop after a certain period.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
