Developer and publisher duo Saber Interactive and Focus Entertainment have jointly addressed the gene-seed enhanced super-soldier in the room: Despite fans' insatiable hunger for content, Space Marine 2 will not become a "full live-service game". It is aware that the majority of players aren't into the community events that gate cosmetic gear, requiring a Herculean effort to unlock. In a blog post (thanks, Eurogamer ), the developer recaps its efforts in February, hypes up the upcoming Patch 7 content , and responds to community feedback regarding community events, which previously have rewarded hardcore players with limited-time wargear for performing particularly daring deeds.
It's a great idea in theory, but in practice, left more casual players out in the dark: "We've noted that the Community Events have received cold feedback since we introduced them as an additional way to unlock cosmetic items. We saw that many of you mentioned FOMO generated by the events. Rest assured, we are not looking to transform Space Marine 2 into a full live-service game.
" The developer assures players that items previously exclusive to these limited-time events will eventually be available for everyone, with no specific timeline given. The dynamic duo conclude that their intention was for "Community Events to be a way to unlock the items in advance, for the most dedicated players, and not to be a source of frustration and stress for everyone.".
