Far Far West Drops Its Halloween Skin Vault After Admitting It Was FOMO

Evil Raptor's October devlog for Far Far West, the 1 to 4 player co-op western shooter, details a Halloween event across three maps (Far West, Area 41, and the new Redwood map) with rituals, event currency, and an exclusive boss. The studio reversed its earlier plan to lock event skins away until next year: they will return to the shop for gold at a higher price after the event. Redwood was cut by almost 40 percent after a bad playtest.

  1. Should every live game stop vaulting event cosmetics like this?
  2. Is a higher gold price after the event a fair middle ground or a soft paywall?
  3. Cutting a map by 40 percent after a playtest: good discipline or a sign of scope trouble?
  4. Would a no-FOMO promise make you more likely to skip the event entirely?
