Just drawing from a recent personal example that compounded a death in family, illness, and caring for someone with special needs, I most definitely missed out on any limited-time gaming things during my forced time offline. If this special something is only for days or a week, chances are plenty of folks - including me - would be prevented from it by the mere existence of real life. Who can’t call to mind some examples various cash shop trickeries like limited-availability items? Yes, this tactic this is bad. Who wouldn’t resent high-pressure sales tactics? It’s like a pushy salesman who needs an answer right now: I just say good-bye and walk right away from them. This is especially true when the limited-time is extremely short or supply very low. Too often the phrase “time-limited” appears to be used to create a false sense of urgency or scarcity meant to spur people to purchase without thinking. And when limited-time things are done wrong, that can be be the opposite of fun, and ultimately damaging to games. But there’s definitely a wrong way to do it. So limited-time itself is not the problem. I even discussed the topic in a previous Massively Overthinking. So I can better understand initial negative reaction to hearing something is for a limited time only. And when they are done wrong, they do dishearten, frustrate, and even chase players away. But after that initial surprise of the statements wore off, while thinking about all the ways System Era is doing it right, I could also see the ways that limited-time events are done wrong throughout gaming. After all, this event is doing limited-time events right Astroneer has pulled me in and I am having more fun than ever. I admit, I was kind of taken aback by that. Complaints about gating content behind limited-time events were driving some players to declare they will never play again, or insisting it would have dissuaded them from bothering to purchase and play the game altogether.

While thoroughly enjoying playing Astroneer’s special event in honor of Apollo 11’s moon landing 50th anniversary that’s happening now through August 31st, I was surprised to come across grumblings about how this and the free special summer skins were offending players.
