According to PC Gamer of overseas media, this game is basically quite popular, but for 'a campaign to distribute specific in-game items only to those who saw Twitch distribution' It is flooded with criticism from many users.

A thread has been set up on the Steam forums pointing out Complex Games as 'greedy,' 'you must buy a more expensive deluxe version instead of the regular version to get all the characters,' and 'advance reservation bonuses available.' Along with items such as 'It has been done', it is accused that 'There are items that can not be obtained without watching the Twitch distribution'. In this thread, there were even comments such as 'You have to be a slave who doesn't miss the delivery in order to get the item' and 'I stopped buying because of the Twitch delivery'.

In a

Steam review , one user said, 'For some ridiculous reason, developers rewarded Twitch with 11 in-game items (actual weapons and armor, not skins and cosmetics) on the launch date. To get these items, you can not only create and link your Frontier account and your Twitch account, but instead of actually playing the game you paid for, you'll have hours of incomprehensible Twitch delivery. You have to keep watching. ' He also points out that there is no other way to get the same item.

Actually, the time of Twitch delivery is 45 minutes instead of several hours, and the performance of the item was at a level that can only be used at the beginning of the game, but many players said, 'I have to see Twitch delivery that I am not interested in. It seems that he was dissatisfied with 'I can't enjoy the game 100%'.

In response to these criticisms, Complex Games has decided to distribute in-game items, which were distributed as rewards for watching Twitch distribution, to all players for free in an update in May 2022.

Complex Games said, 'We are delighted to have enjoyed the gameplay, but we are also listening to your feedback. We focused on the dissatisfaction with the item drop campaign on Twitch that took place at the same time as the game was released. That's why these campaigns were solely for the purpose of raising awareness of the game, but we also understand that many users feel that 'in-game items have been stolen.' This is certainly ours. It wasn't intended. '
