Ok THAT'S crazy, I literally upgraded from an Xbox One to a Series S this past September and the Black style unlocked for me the first time I loaded up Fortnite on it. And I've had Maser Chief since he first released. So it was unlockable for YEARS but suddenly it's not just before he finally returns to the item shop? That's some shady shenanigans right there.
I had a similar ish story. Bought it back in 2022, the last time it was available. Didn't realise until like a month or 2 ago that you can log in on the xbox cloud streaming and use that to get the edit stlye (since i play on PC) and it worked fine for me. So glad i finally got to claim it before it "ran out"
@@thefierydemon9364it was never said that it wouldn’t come back therefore it’s not og exclusive so they don’t need to give people who bought it when it first came out. It was actually specifically said that it would be available forever
Contracts with Microsoft. Microsoft could simply tell them that the contract is finished and is no longer issueable because of it. It's all legality and agreements.
I’m so happy people can’t get the black style because I can still stand out with my black MasterChief and everyone else will be stuck with the green style 🥳🥳🥳😁😁😁
Calling it "tricking" us, feels disingenuous. They LIED, call it what it is. This is bullshit, I saw the black style and specifically wanted it over just the main style, and then they said "nahhh, fuck you we lied fuck off" JUST, BE, A NORMAL, COMPANY, FOR TWO. FUCKING. SECONDS. GOOD GOD PEOPLE! Why do they continue to make terrible discussions like this right after having been cool about other things? What is their problem with just, BEING COMPETENT?!
This is just like how a few seasons ago they came out with a new galaxy skin girl that nobody even knew about coming, and we found out that we had to play on a specific date from here to there on mobile . So the ones who played on those days that have her literally just got lucky
Yep that's one of the FU's they have done, I hate this company, b*********** us at every corner, they should have at least given us two weeks to unlock the skin but nope they're like hey f you for using mobile on the wrong device It's also b******* that it had to be on a Samsung phone
This is actual bs. Why does this matter? This means that the Gears of War skins can't have the matte black style, and they've only been released once, and then again a few months later. Xbox needs to fix this crap
@ZillionSole31 u probably right, but still, very dumb. Like it doesn't matter, I mwan you got the Xbox, so you get the style, same with PS5, and Kratos and the Hunter girl
Xbox? This is Fortnite bro, they can choose if they allow players to get the style variant or not. Xbox could, if they want, say no more giving away style unexpectedly.
jesus christ you can't play as master chief with a black style who cares you should of gotten it sooner you didn't even need an xbox series x you could of used cloud gaming
So... anyone gonna talk about the fact they are now potentially liable for false advertising? They promised an alt style to players and didn't tell them till some time after they made the change and reintroduced the skin. They also will only give you a refund of the ingame currency used to buy the skin, not the actual money many players spent when the shop changed just to buy the skin. This is gonna put them in legal jeopardy. I'm not even that big of a Halo fan, the only Halo characters I'd buy as skins are like the Elites and Hunters since I think they're cool but they don't have skins. I'm just miffed I see so many people going "womp womp it's just a cosmetic chill" when the skin doesn't matter: What matters is if Epic gets away with it the precedent is set that they can get away with blatant false advertising.
It pmo because not everyone CAN afford a new console every year or 2 I've been saving up for an Xbox and ps5 and I bought it thinking I'd get it and no rush. I'm screwed. What else is gonna end up going away as far as "just play on __console"
Yeh, haven't watched the vid yet but from these comments I'm reading it seems like the paradigm situation all over again, they need to give up the style and let people have it or it counts as false advertising
If it was "False Advertising" they rectified it by giving players the option to Return / Refund the purchase Free without using a refund token so there is no liable damages to be had from this If it was "False Advertising". also the fact that they remedied the situation the same Day/Night also makes this less "False Advertising"
impossible? no one was buying them since playstation 4 was the thing back then… i’m sure the 65 people that didnt get the black armor on their xbox are furious
This is beyond ridiculous and disgusting. The fact they had the AUDACITY to link their old tweet that literally contradicts what they just said is insane.
Not only that, but do this a little over 3 and a half hours after they put him up on the store, with no communication and their own bots collecting people's complaints on things like Reddit as bug reports, only to proceed to give the middle finger. Now Twitter's got a citation calling them out on it.
@@raikohzx4323 Exactly. I’m glad they are receiving backlash for this. Even if I did own the style I’d be pissed just cause how they lied to their entire community. Honestly part of me thinks some intern posted that tweet while the actual devs are on winter break lmao
also not just that it was probably an anniversary style aswell as a next gen locked style , I remember the minecraft halo pack also has a black chief style in the same way so i'm guessing it's that reason too
i bought an xbox x yesterday just because i knew master chief skin was coming to fortnite and i knew i had to have an xbox to unlock his second style. i want a refund for the console and the skin immediately
Refunding vbucks without taking a ticket really doesn't cut it here. What about people who paid real money to buy vbucks specifically for this skin? The fact it was gone so long and then they brought it back so soon after a TOS update is extremely shady too. No warning beforehand, just completely pulled the rug from under their customers.
If they can go directly against something, they say on a post that everyone can see, then they can go against something they said in small letters that say battle passes are exclusive.
They aren’t going against it, it is directed at owners of the master chief outfit at the time, that’s like complaining u can’t play ch2 season 5 when they post saying ‘play it now’ 😂
I'd say both, since they knew people were hyped and expecting this and they didn't say a single word before they released it. They should have said something first. This fail falls on them.
I hate this all around. It sucks because I want to keep the skin but that means Fortnite gets what they want without giving the style. It’s unfortunate and should have been clarified before purchase
It should be noted that as soon as you buy the v-bucks they don't really care if you refund the skin because they make their money selling the currency they don't make the money from you buying a skin
There’s even a nearly identical tweet to the Master Chief one that says “You’ll unlock the Armored Kratos style if you play a match on PS5 at ANY point in the future. There is no time limit for unlocking the style.”
As someone who owns the Matte Black style, this is HORRIBLE decision-making on their part. Everyone deserves the opportunity to gain the Matte Black style not just because they promised it would always be available, but also because I highly doubt any owners of this style ever thought the skin or style would ever be exclusive. They need to reverse this decision ASAP.
Talk about a monkey's paw! They finally bring Chief back, but they pull this crap! It's actually so insane that they quoted the original tweet that said there would be no time limit to claim the style to say "actually there's a time limit." This whole thing is really dumb. They'll probably do this for Marcus Fenix, Kratos, and Aloy, now, too, if those ever come back.
@ bruh if u post something u post it at the time u post it simple, if they are directing something at people then it will be the people at the time as they are talking in present tense 😭
Today I immediately got Master Chief when the Item Shop refreshed. Then I couldn't unlock this style for him, and I was a bit disappointed. Oh well, the normal style is still cool! Thanks for letting us know Tabor, keep up the great work!
i contacted them since they said that you would get a refund without a return ticket. yeah the skin is cool but i wanted the black armor. i was already thinking to visit a friend with an xbox and just play one game to get the skin. they’re gate keeping a skin style…
@@Zodra778 Yeah, I do love Halo after all, despite the first game from that franchise I played was Halo 3 odst... But I've waited for a long time just for it to return and it's finally here! So I'm happy with it.
@TheGamerLorianyeah I got the black style but it isn't worth what people are saying it is, I've only used the green style not the black one since I'd rather use blue or red instead of black
WHY?!?!?! THATS SO DUMB THEY NEVER MADE THIS EXPLICIT AT ALL You’re so right fortnite, I should’ve used my seventh sense to realise you needed to buy master chief first thing he comes to the item shop, then buy an Xbox series x or s (or Xbox cloud gaming) and do ALL that prior to December 2024 while believing the fact that the style is obtainable at ANY time and was not limited. My fault.
@@tetolini there's nothing to see. They already give PlayStation tons of free exclusive bundles which most of the time have pretty cool or unique stuff in them plus PlayStation gets more exclusive console bundle skins than the other platforms
@KingCameron. or once they find out they’re trying to weasel their way out of any future class action lawsuits, only problem with that is this was blatant false advertising and fraud at its purest form. They think they’re untouchable now, I recommend everyone go talk about this as much as possible online & pressure these scumbags
They rugpulled us, by making a skin that is highly desirable, giving it a style that was never said to be exclusive, and then take away the skin for almost 3 years so everyone buys it, with the premise that they would get the style, and then they announced hours later after you already played a game with him meaning you’re ineligible for a refund. So scummy epic games goes so low to rugpull fans on a holiday all because they lost that court case Fortnite is so money hungry it’s sad
I wouldn’t even call it a proper refund, epic already got your real money they’re just giving back digital currency which makes this even worse since they came out with the information about master chief after he already re-released
@Groovylonglegs I was smart and paid on my capital one card, I’m reporting it as false advertising and fraud and I’m keeping the skin they can blow chunks. I’m praying the FTC is gonna step in again
@@JamisonEdits it is🤡, false advertising at its finest. They never specified on 12/11/20 that if it applied to current or future purchases, all it said was redeemable at any future point. So that’s fraud, and how they didn’t say anything about this until hours after and are tryin to offer vbucks in return or a free return, whatever tf scam they’re trying to pull to save their asses; it’s not gonna work. They will be hit with another FTC lawsuit
Same I got it through logging in my Xbox account through Cloud gaming beta I think more people should be able to get it if it literally said anytime in the future They're literally being deceptive by going back on they're word and what they said back then was essentially a bold faced lie.
I've seen a bunch of comments saying that they're probably just doing it for OG users, but if that's the case, they should just make an extra style with a different color, or add the ability to scale battle damage on his armor. It's subtle, and it doesn't really stop new players from having cool stuff. Edit: it seems like I didn't make myself clear. I KNOW IT WAS NEVER SAID TO BE EXCLUSIVE, I NEVER SAID IT WAS. My comment is talking about OTHER PEOPLE saying Epic is doing this for OG players. I am NOT trying to say that's the reason, and I DO NOT AGREE WITH THEIR DECISION.
Epic Games is really getting shady with their "exclusive" practices. They feint inclusivity by making new Battlepasses non exclusive and going so far as to bring back Renegade Raider, which is one of the most iconic and exclusive skins in the game only to refuse customers Matte Black for the Master Chief skin they PURCHASED? Epic Games has been adopting some fairly underhanded business practices as of late and it's only paving way for more egregious instances of consumer manipulation. I miss Donald Mustard.
Dawg exclusives are in literally in all games where u can buy skins or buy anything in that matter it's not epics fault u didn't get the style when u could they literally were blast u could get the style on UA-cam and another thing xbox is in control of if it comes back u didn't complain about the exclusive ps5 skin shut up and u didn't complain about the limited time phone skins
I honestly fully expect anything in the new battle-passes thats not a marvel/disney character to go the way of the Starter-packs/STW bundles where they don't claim exclusivity but they may as well be exclusive with how barely any actually return ever.
@@urijahbourque6996 I literally have the matte black Master Chief, I've had it since it originally dropped lol.. But you seem to have missed my point. Epic is pretending they want to do away with exclusivity by making battlepasses and exclusive skins available while actively refusing to allow specific exclusives to be re-released. Just because I have the Matte Black Master Chief doesn't mean I'm going to agree with Epic Games decisions to not re-release him..
@@cyradius662 My thoughts exactly. It's just a way for them to maintain an air of "rarity" without having to honor the exclusivity giving them the ability to re-release it whenever it'll make them the most money in the future. It's just a form of doublespeak to keep them out of court when they inevitably re-release the "exclusive" skin/item/emote etc.
2:55 Epic has shown they're not going away exclusiveness when it comes to styles. There are so many examples of such cases both in the past and present. Paradigm returned, but an extra style for "OGs" was created that new owners can't access to. Same with Renegade Raider, where new owners have a single style while original ones have 2 and getting an extra one next year. So Master Chief, Marcus Phoenix, Kratos and Aloy; who were part of the "next-gen console bonus", could be subject to the very same thing and keep their second styles exclusive or add a third one for those that owned them prior.
The problem with this specific situation was that it was never specified to be a TIME exclusive. We knew it was a console exclusive, but there were never any signs of it being time exclusive too
There’s also a difference between accidentally putting them in the item shop and giving compensation, and purposely putting them in the item shop and deliberately lying to the entire community.
That’s stupid for them to do that and like Tabor said in the vid, EPIC THEMSELVES said that there was NO TIME LIMT on the style and suddenly there is one without telling anyone?
Making a style "exclusive" literally feeds the account sellers and entitled kids more, because account sellers have more of a reason to keep selling accounts, and kids have another "og" item to "flex". Its so stupid.
Are they kidding? I bought Vbucks with real money just so I can buy this skin and have that matte black style and NOW they telling me that I cant have that? Seirously epic this aint cool at all.
@@omgitsgastly4923 it’s fraud & false advertising, you can report it to your bank & get credited back & keep the skin. That’s what I’m doing, I’m praying they get hit with another FTC lawsuit over this
@Tabor -- I appreciate you drawing attention to this. Hopefully Epic will hear you. However, what Epic needs to realize is that offering a refund doesn't "fix" the issue; it's about customer expectation of the Edit Style due to precedent that Epic set, and in holding Epic accountable.
I’m thinking this may be a contract thing between Xbox and Epic Games that has ended and Epic forgot/ overlooked? That’s the only reason I can say that MIGHT be why this happened.
Was thinking the same thing. Looks like there was a time limit but epic overlooked it and said there wasn't. When epic went back to release chief again, they themselves noticed the other skin wasn't available now and are having to eat crow over saying there was no time limit. Probably don't wait almost 3 years to rerelease something?🤷
@@Ace_SuperSport not necessarily, Microsoft could’ve told Epic there was a certain time frame for people to unlock the second style. When it comes to collabs Epic doesn’t have all the say on anything that involves other IPs Yes the skin returned but Microsoft easily could’ve had a say
@@H-321 …from a business standpoint point it doesn’t make sense to me though. You run a business to make money and if that’s a huge selling point then you obviously you make money but if nobody wants it or if people return in then you won’t make any extra money. Either way it doesn’t make sense but it was clearly stated that it would be available in the future so before the first release any agreement about what and when things would be available should have been in whatever contract from the get go, not just changing stuff on the fly.
i think this should be an indication that if they can change stuff on the fly like this, it should be assumed that exclusive skins may not be so exclusive as we thought or vice versa
This is why there shouldn't be any exclusivity anymore with anything in every player should be allowed to get and everything in a game they love no matter when they start playing.
What that literally takes away the point of exclusivity of console games and that's what this is supposed to be not limited time exclusivity though so the problem is they said this wasn't going to be limited time that's what you're not understanding the real problem is it shouldn't even be limited time exclusive
I understand I have the style from before renegade raider tabor pointed out in another video said it could come back but every one is acting like it shouldn't have my point was what I said I believe everyone should be able to get every thing every style from a game they love including this and all battle pass and styles it's a digital style there shouldn't be no more exclusive styles and it's money for a game we enjoy and support.
I got Master chief before he went away for 1000 days, i ended up getting the style after logging onto my Xbox later after he already left. This is literally so dumb excuse me??? This is the one time they literally can't loophole their way out of this one and they just went against their word????
okay something that really irks me is that epic is not only lying to their fans, they’re also saying that we can’t sue them in their recent update. Almost seems like epic was planning this, who knew a multimillion dollar company was shady 🤔
@@Quartermaster1463 don’t worry, this was blatant false advertising and fraud & its finest form. Keep talking about it online, report it to your credit card/bank, don’t let them think they’ll get away with it. Them trying to change TOS doesn’t cover their asses in this situation
Now their support team is working around the clock to give refunds and I can’t submit my request. I’m also unavailable for almost a week so I don’t know if I can get my refund. This feels like a cheap scam.
Didn't expect my style to be exclusive nor did I care but that's funny to know. I also never even got the style from playing on an Xbox Series X/S, I used Xbox cloud gaming on my phone at school one day and randomly unlocked it, no console needed.
This is a terrible decision because he literally hasn’t been seen in the shop for years. That false advertisement lawsuit looking pretty good right now.
That just burns bridges of trust for lying like that. Epic flopped hardcore on this by flat out lying about unlocking the secondary style. Way to go Epic, you are going to lose player counts by doing stuff like this just like how Bungie is doing with Destiny.
I know this is only a cosmetic item, but still. They said there is no time limit! They straight up lied. The FTC should indeed take notice of this situation.
@@neonafterglow4451are you an og owner or bought the skin today because I like halo and thinking about buying the skin because I think the black design is cool if not green one still cool tbh
I don't think it's fair to lock people behind a style that wasn't stated to be available for a limited time back then. Heck, I own that style, too. It feels more special to see other people get the chance to have that style rather than for it to be gatekept.
Wanted the skin, would've bought, found put it was "bugged", waited, found out it no longer gives the style which I wanted to buy it for, won't buy it anymore. Not to mention a lot of people are refunding it.
They are about to see a change in Fortnite. They can’t keep LYING to us and getting away with it. Stand up. Fight back. Walk away and let them see they fucked up.
Had to laugh at the part when epic said only those prior to December 2024 like come on he didn't return for 900+ days how could we ever have the chance to get the additional style
@@R8TEDR also report it to your banks/credit cards & get a refund if you spent money on the vbucks & keep the skin. It was a blatant false advertised scam
I’ve been playing on Xbox for months, maybe years, but missed the last time Master Chief was in the shop by a few days. Been waiting over 600 days I think? And now they drop this news. I really hope they change this decision.
As an Xbox player whom bought the skin originally and has the exclusive style I wanna choose to see it as the style that OGs are able to flaunt to show that we are original owners of the skin. If new players are able to later unlock the extra style and OG users get a red and/or blue style then I won’t complain about the new styles.
I would’ve only bought Master Chief for the matte black, but I’m also confused about the exclusivity on this, we seem to be making every step away from it until now
That literally makes no sense the black style was for Xbox users and that's not the problem the problem is they're trying to say limited time exclusive which was literally quite the opposite what they said if they give that black edit style to everyone that literally takes away the whole purpose of it being conflict exclusive tf is wrong with u?
They need to be boycotted. They get away with things way too much and mess up way too much. I won reload matches not to get the derezz pickaxe. They pull crap on the people that make them money and its just wrong.
So yeah thats the "we can do anything we want and you can't say anything about it" from the brand new tos in action right now Btw its funny and kinda sad that they're always contradicting themselves, they dont want account selling while they're doing stuff like this
@@fullnattybro they are not untouchable after a move like this, all it requires is droves of people threatening legal action because this was blatantly false advertising & a scam from epic at their finest
Nah someone be sued in a minute bc I didn’t just waste 2600 on a bundle not to get an exclusive style off the Xbox series s/x on Fortnite, Fortnite this is ballsh!T I want my mf matte black style
I think they did this so that the people who originally bought the skin when it first came out don’t feel cheated out on, like how renegade raider is getting an og style. I know master chief isn’t og, but this would make sense. I own the Kratos skin, and have never played on a PS5, but randomly a few months ago I got the edit style for him. I know they said Kratos wouldn’t return, idk about Master Chief, but this may be there way of compensating the og owners.
But why should they compensate? I get it with every other skin that’s come back with an OG edit style but master chief and kratos shouldn’t even be exclusive It feels more like epic took away a feature of the skin for most of their customers and called it a day, also there was so many better ways to have an OG edit style if they were *really* adamant on the skin that never should’ve been an “OG”.
@ Idk about master chief, but I remember Epic tweeting out that Kratos will be leaving the item shop PERMANENTLY, so if they brought him back there should be compensation for the people who bought him knowing that was their only chance.
@@silverbuzzsaw7620 ok so it would make sense for kratos then, but from my knowledge there was nothing about MC being limited, in fact epic said the style was unlimited so I feel that it was just a really scummy move on Fortnite’s part
I'm thinking this might've been a Microsoft decision. Epic has been making great efforts to end exclusivity in Fortnite altogether, so it'd be weird for them to regress. Maybe that was one of the concessions Epic had to make in order for Microsoft to allow them to rerun Master Chief in the item shop. AAA game companies can be very greedy, so I wouldn't put it past them to essentially hold these Fortnite skins hostage until Epic agrees to their demands.
Since the video hasn’t mentioned it: “og” owners of master chief still can’t obtain the matte black style since he came back to the item shop if they hadn’t already. Just adding more fuel to the fire about epic’s tweet
The style did return. It looks like the community is fed up with gatekeeping and that's a positive. Hopefully battle passes are next. Game is close to a decade old, makes little to no sense to keep such items behind inactive accounts when not only profit can be made from them, but also bring joy to new and recurring players that didn't have access to skins/platforms back then. Free platform exclusives such as Blizabelle and Guff Gringle should follow.
@@Vile.Memes. yeah, it's back again. Fortnite Status posted this: *The Matte Black style for The Master Chief outfit is unlockable!* *Play a match on an Xbox Series X|S after acquiring the outfit to unlock the style, and this will remain available as an unlockable style for playing on the platform in line with our original post. We apologize for the confusion from our previous tweet saying it was no longer available*
This is either gonna be the XP situation at the beginning of this chapter, wanting praise because they listen to their community like the good little company they are, or they’re being REALLY stupid, and going back on their word in which they have absolutely 0 reason to
Ok THAT'S crazy, I literally upgraded from an Xbox One to a Series S this past September and the Black style unlocked for me the first time I loaded up Fortnite on it.

If it was "False Advertising" they rectified it by giving players the option to Return / Refund the purchase Free without using a refund token so there is no liable damages to be had from this If it was "False Advertising". also the fact that they remedied the situation the same Day/Night also makes this less "False Advertising"
What makes it worse is the new Xbox’s were impossible at the time so when they said we didn’t need to worry but now they are not letting us now
impossible? no one was buying them since playstation 4 was the thing back then… i’m sure the 65 people that didnt get the black armor on their xbox are furious
Ehh not entirely true u could get an new gen Xbox for sure but ehh
@beaualoevv ps4? You mean ps5
This is beyond ridiculous and disgusting. The fact they had the AUDACITY to link their old tweet that literally contradicts what they just said is insane.
Not only that, but do this a little over 3 and a half hours after they put him up on the store, with no communication and their own bots collecting people's complaints on things like Reddit as bug reports, only to proceed to give the middle finger. Now Twitter's got a citation calling them out on it.
@@raikohzx4323 Exactly. I’m glad they are receiving backlash for this. Even if I did own the style I’d be pissed just cause how they lied to their entire community. Honestly part of me thinks some intern posted that tweet while the actual devs are on winter break lmao
also not just that it was probably an anniversary style aswell as a next gen locked style , I remember the minecraft halo pack also has a black chief style in the same way so i'm guessing it's that reason too
Whomp whomp
Haha
They should get sued again for false advertisement
I got an Xbox for this style and huntmaster saber
A new xbox because I already had one
i bought an xbox x yesterday just because i knew master chief skin was coming to fortnite and i knew i had to have an xbox to unlock his second style. i want a refund for the console and the skin immediately
Refunding vbucks without taking a ticket really doesn't cut it here. What about people who paid real money to buy vbucks specifically for this skin? The fact it was gone so long and then they brought it back so soon after a TOS update is extremely shady too. No warning beforehand, just completely pulled the rug from under their customers.
Fr so that they have to refund more money and to get it back they have to bring back more OG stuff like old battle passes
As someone who owns this style, this seems unfair.
Yea….
Yea fr
Oh look an adult.
Fr I own it too and this confuses me
Well I like my exclusivity
If they can go directly against something, they say on a post that everyone can see, then they can go against something they said in small letters that say battle passes are exclusive.
YES
I am willing to sacrifice me not getting this style for the possibility of AGENT PEELY
@ẞooßys I just want midas shadow style. If I could only pick 1 BP skin it would be that one along with his whole set
They aren’t going against it, it is directed at owners of the master chief outfit at the time, that’s like complaining u can’t play ch2 season 5 when they post saying ‘play it now’ 😂

I hate this all around. It sucks because I want to keep the skin but that means Fortnite gets what they want without giving the style. It’s unfortunate and should have been clarified before purchase
It should be noted that as soon as you buy the v-bucks they don't really care if you refund the skin because they make their money selling the currency they don't make the money from you buying a skin
Buying a skin is more of a result of selling you the v-bucks pretty interesting when you think about it
@@superscott9780 doesn't matter what you say okay this is 100% BS so quit with the understatements
This also implies that if Kratos comes back at some point, PlayStation owners won't be able to get the golden armor style bc it isn't Ch2 S5 anymore
no it’s just xbox because also they said the style had no end date
There’s even a nearly identical tweet to the Master Chief one that says “You’ll unlock the Armored Kratos style if you play a match on PS5 at ANY point in the future. There is no time limit for unlocking the style.”
I'm not getting keratosis because I've never played GoW
Kratos*
No, because this is Microsoft’s doing not Fortnite.
As someone who owns the Matte Black style, this is HORRIBLE decision-making on their part. Everyone deserves the opportunity to gain the Matte Black style not just because they promised it would always be available, but also because I highly doubt any owners of this style ever thought the skin or style would ever be exclusive. They need to reverse this decision ASAP.

Today I immediately got Master Chief when the Item Shop refreshed. Then I couldn't unlock this style for him, and I was a bit disappointed. Oh well, the normal style is still cool! Thanks for letting us know Tabor, keep up the great work!
i contacted them since they said that you would get a refund without a return ticket. yeah the skin is cool but i wanted the black armor. i was already thinking to visit a friend with an xbox and just play one game to get the skin. they’re gate keeping a skin style…

They think they’re untouchable now, I recommend everyone go talk about this as much as possible online & pressure these scumbags
They rugpulled us, by making a skin that is highly desirable, giving it a style that was never said to be exclusive, and then take away the skin for almost 3 years so everyone buys it, with the premise that they would get the style, and then they announced hours later after you already played a game with him meaning you’re ineligible for a refund. So scummy epic games goes so low to rugpull fans on a holiday all because they lost that court case Fortnite is so money hungry it’s sad
I wouldn’t even call it a proper refund, epic already got your real money they’re just giving back digital currency which makes this even worse since they came out with the information about master chief after he already re-released

I've seen a bunch of comments saying that they're probably just doing it for OG users, but if that's the case, they should just make an extra style with a different color, or add the ability to scale battle damage on his armor. It's subtle, and it doesn't really stop new players from having cool stuff.
Edit: it seems like I didn't make myself clear. I KNOW IT WAS NEVER SAID TO BE EXCLUSIVE, I NEVER SAID IT WAS. My comment is talking about OTHER PEOPLE saying Epic is doing this for OG players. I am NOT trying to say that's the reason, and I DO NOT AGREE WITH THEIR DECISION.

Bro it would be sick if they still had the black version for new buyers but then old buyers got the CE version for master Chief as a style

@YoungKT2389yes I have the black but CE would be much better
I feel bad for anyone that is getting an Xbox for Christmas and likes the master chief skin
Epic Games is really getting shady with their "exclusive" practices. They feint inclusivity by making new Battlepasses non exclusive and going so far as to bring back Renegade Raider, which is one of the most iconic and exclusive skins in the game only to refuse customers Matte Black for the Master Chief skin they PURCHASED? Epic Games has been adopting some fairly underhanded business practices as of late and it's only paving way for more egregious instances of consumer manipulation. I miss Donald Mustard.
Spot on
Dawg exclusives are in literally in all games where u can buy skins or buy anything in that matter it's not epics fault u didn't get the style when u could they literally were blast u could get the style on UA-cam and another thing xbox is in control of if it comes back u didn't complain about the exclusive ps5 skin shut up and u didn't complain about the limited time phone skins
I honestly fully expect anything in the new battle-passes thats not a marvel/disney character to go the way of the Starter-packs/STW bundles where they don't claim exclusivity but they may as well be exclusive with how barely any actually return ever.
@@urijahbourque6996 I literally have the matte black Master Chief, I've had it since it originally dropped lol.. But you seem to have missed my point. Epic is pretending they want to do away with exclusivity by making battlepasses and exclusive skins available while actively refusing to allow specific exclusives to be re-released. Just because I have the Matte Black Master Chief doesn't mean I'm going to agree with Epic Games decisions to not re-release him..
@@cyradius662 My thoughts exactly. It's just a way for them to maintain an air of "rarity" without having to honor the exclusivity giving them the ability to re-release it whenever it'll make them the most money in the future. It's just a form of doublespeak to keep them out of court when they inevitably re-release the "exclusive" skin/item/emote etc.
2:55 Epic has shown they're not going away exclusiveness when it comes to styles. There are so many examples of such cases both in the past and present. Paradigm returned, but an extra style for "OGs" was created that new owners can't access to. Same with Renegade Raider, where new owners have a single style while original ones have 2 and getting an extra one next year. So Master Chief, Marcus Phoenix, Kratos and Aloy; who were part of the "next-gen console bonus", could be subject to the very same thing and keep their second styles exclusive or add a third one for those that owned them prior.
The renegade is sold with both styles , the people that already owned it will get a 3rd
The problem with this specific situation was that it was never specified to be a TIME exclusive. We knew it was a console exclusive, but there were never any signs of it being time exclusive too
There’s also a difference between accidentally putting them in the item shop and giving compensation, and purposely putting them in the item shop and deliberately lying to the entire community.
At this point they could just return every BP skin and give an exclusive style
Epic games are so hopelessly confused that its genuinely sad to compare the epic now and the epic from back then
The difference is night and day
That’s stupid for them to do that and like Tabor said in the vid, EPIC THEMSELVES said that there was NO TIME LIMT on the style and suddenly there is one without telling anyone?
Making a style "exclusive" literally feeds the account sellers and entitled kids more, because account sellers have more of a reason to keep selling accounts, and kids have another "og" item to "flex". Its so stupid.
the worlds gonna keep spinning buddy get over it
Are they kidding? I bought Vbucks with real money just so I can buy this skin and have that matte black style and NOW they telling me that I cant have that? Seirously epic this aint cool at all.
@@omgitsgastly4923 it’s fraud & false advertising, you can report it to your bank & get credited back & keep the skin. That’s what I’m doing, I’m praying they get hit with another FTC lawsuit over this
@Tabor -- I appreciate you drawing attention to this. Hopefully Epic will hear you. However, what Epic needs to realize is that offering a refund doesn't "fix" the issue; it's about customer expectation of the Edit Style due to precedent that Epic set, and in holding Epic accountable.
I’m thinking this may be a contract thing between Xbox and Epic Games that has ended and Epic forgot/ overlooked? That’s the only reason I can say that MIGHT be why this happened.
Was thinking the same thing. Looks like there was a time limit but epic overlooked it and said there wasn't. When epic went back to release chief again, they themselves noticed the other skin wasn't available now and are having to eat crow over saying there was no time limit. Probably don't wait almost 3 years to rerelease something?🤷
Especially knowing that skin is in demand and popular. It’s why you also haven’t seen anything related to Arcane or Travis Scott
If that’s the case then the skin itself wouldn’t have or shouldn’t have been available again at all either. This is just epic being shady
@@Ace_SuperSport not necessarily, Microsoft could’ve told Epic there was a certain time frame for people to unlock the second style. When it comes to collabs Epic doesn’t have all the say on anything that involves other IPs
Yes the skin returned but Microsoft easily could’ve had a say
@@H-321 …from a business standpoint point it doesn’t make sense to me though. You run a business to make money and if that’s a huge selling point then you obviously you make money but if nobody wants it or if people return in then you won’t make any extra money. Either way it doesn’t make sense but it was clearly stated that it would be available in the future so before the first release any agreement about what and when things would be available should have been in whatever contract from the get go, not just changing stuff on the fly.
i think this should be an indication that if they can change stuff on the fly like this, it should be assumed that exclusive skins may not be so exclusive as we thought or vice versa
i use to not agree with this generally but yeah at this point these guys will do whatever the hell they want
We live in a world where we can't even trust the words of Epic Games and Fortnite themselves.
That’s not the worst of the real world lol u got no idea
I smell a FTC lawsuit for deceiving practices
i’m not surprised. they still haven’t refunded people who bought crew in november + the lego pass
Or Mr dappermint owners either,
This is why there shouldn't be any exclusivity anymore with anything in every player should be allowed to get and everything in a game they love no matter when they start playing.
What that literally takes away the point of exclusivity of console games and that's what this is supposed to be not limited time exclusivity though so the problem is they said this wasn't going to be limited time that's what you're not understanding the real problem is it shouldn't even be limited time exclusive
I understand I have the style from before renegade raider tabor pointed out in another video said it could come back but every one is acting like it shouldn't have my point was what I said I believe everyone should be able to get every thing every style from a game they love including this and all battle pass and styles it's a digital style there shouldn't be no more exclusive styles and it's money for a game we enjoy and support.

Now their support team is working around the clock to give refunds and I can’t submit my request. I’m also unavailable for almost a week so I don’t know if I can get my refund. This feels like a cheap scam.
Didn't expect my style to be exclusive nor did I care but that's funny to know. I also never even got the style from playing on an Xbox Series X/S, I used Xbox cloud gaming on my phone at school one day and randomly unlocked it, no console needed.

As an Xbox player whom bought the skin originally and has the exclusive style I wanna choose to see it as the style that OGs are able to flaunt to show that we are original owners of the skin. If new players are able to later unlock the extra style and OG users get a red and/or blue style then I won’t complain about the new styles.

I think they did this so that the people who originally bought the skin when it first came out don’t feel cheated out on, like how renegade raider is getting an og style. I know master chief isn’t og, but this would make sense. I own the Kratos skin, and have never played on a PS5, but randomly a few months ago I got the edit style for him. I know they said Kratos wouldn’t return, idk about Master Chief, but this may be there way of compensating the og owners.
But why should they compensate? I get it with every other skin that’s come back with an OG edit style but master chief and kratos shouldn’t even be exclusive
It feels more like epic took away a feature of the skin for most of their customers and called it a day, also there was so many better ways to have an OG edit style if they were *really* adamant on the skin that never should’ve been an “OG”.

I'm thinking this might've been a Microsoft decision. Epic has been making great efforts to end exclusivity in Fortnite altogether, so it'd be weird for them to regress. Maybe that was one of the concessions Epic had to make in order for Microsoft to allow them to rerun Master Chief in the item shop. AAA game companies can be very greedy, so I wouldn't put it past them to essentially hold these Fortnite skins hostage until Epic agrees to their demands.
it makes no sense cause of the fact that they kept the skin away for 935 days
Since the video hasn’t mentioned it:
“og” owners of master chief still can’t obtain the matte black style since he came back to the item shop if they hadn’t already.
Just adding more fuel to the fire about epic’s tweet
I have a feeling that this is another paradigm or fncs blades situation again they may be testing to see how much backlash this gets
The style did return. It looks like the community is fed up with gatekeeping and that's a positive. Hopefully battle passes are next. Game is close to a decade old, makes little to no sense to keep such items behind inactive accounts when not only profit can be made from them, but also bring joy to new and recurring players that didn't have access to skins/platforms back then. Free platform exclusives such as Blizabelle and Guff Gringle should follow.
They didn't it's back
@@TJWrighty It got added back today.
@@athena9029wait really
@@Vile.Memes. yeah, it's back again. Fortnite Status posted this:
*The Matte Black style for The Master Chief outfit is unlockable!*
*Play a match on an Xbox Series X|S after acquiring the outfit to unlock the style, and this will remain available as an unlockable style for playing on the platform in line with our original post. We apologize for the confusion from our previous tweet saying it was no longer available*
This is either gonna be the XP situation at the beginning of this chapter, wanting praise because they listen to their community like the good little company they are, or they’re being REALLY stupid, and going back on their word in which they have absolutely 0 reason to
