You’re like kids in a store when your parent(s) tell you no, you can’t have that toy. You just keep pestering and pestering 'em about hoping to break them down until they cave.
what you are seeing in threads like this is normal consumer behavior
you go to a grocery store, find out that they’ve removed your favorite product from the shelf, so you talk to a manager and ask that it be brought back in again
simple, normal, everyday consumer behavior
it only makes sense to ask for that which could be available but currently isnt
They remove things I like from stores all the time. (it’s actually a joke in my family about it) and never have I once bugged anybody about it. I just accept it and find something else.
That’s what would typically happen, but this case is more like this:
You go to a grocery store looking for a product such as Holiday Spice Pepsi from nearly five years ago that was limited-time-only and ask the manager to consider bringing it back, and they say, “we have no plans to do so.” And you keep showing up every day asking when it will return? And keep telling people you feel it will return and expect if the store had new owners, they would bring it back. You tell the manager they could make “big bags of cash” if they brought this back and how you just know millions of people are clamoring for it to return!
Many consumers - normal everyday folk - buy things purposefully when the producer implies that it will not be available again, as the scarcity adds value to them ^-^
I wholeheartedly agree, I personally do not care if it makes a return or not as it is skin attached to a good cause. Like you said it is weird, but also interesting seeing this topic pop up every other day theoretically as many others know that this topic, this skin is popular amongst most.
By nature, and I am going say this in quotations " Allegedly, it is individuals who do not obtain the skin that creates such topics" new and existing players I notice, and there IS NOTHING wrong with fighting for a cause or in this case fighting to keep this topic alive years later from the event, but many have tried to explain why this is very unlikely, not impossible, but highly unlikely due to reasons, legal reason.
Not to mention that individuals and dev have stated that back then and even in the year 2022. It is just quite interesting indeed.
Thank you for this, I was looking all day for this, saved and bookmarked.
