Space Marine 2 Authors Receive Another "Clown Medal" on Steam - Some Players Unhappy with New FOMO Event

An attempt to promote Warhammer 40,000 Space Marine 2 through events in third-party services is causing negative reactions from some players.

Recently, the developers of Warhammer 40,000 Space Marine presented a September news summary. Soon, some members of the Steam community began to actively resent it.

The fact is that Saber Interactive announced a new promotion - this time on Discord (violates the requirements of the legislation of the Russian Federation).

In October, a Discord Quest will be held: for 15 minutes of playing the demo / full version of Space Marine 2, the developers provided a reward; they presented a stylish look for the weapon. In addition, a "community event" will be held next month - you will need to eliminate 500 thousand certain enemies in order to get a helmet as a reward.

This format of FOMO events, using the "fear of missing out" effect, is not liked by members of the gaming community. Previously, they had already criticized when they organized a Twitch Drops campaign with gifts for watching streams.

As in the past, not onlycomments are used to express dissatisfaction. Another Steam community trick is being performed - the developers' announcement of the event in Space Marine 2 was given several "clown medals" (the award is called "jester", but in the Steam community it is actively used as an insult).
