The iconic Master Chief, star of the Halo franchise and a popular Fortnite skin, recently returned to the item shop after a two-year hiatus. This brought much excitement, but a controversy quickly arose.
Initially, a special Matte Black style for the skin was exclusively offered to players using Xbox Series S|X consoles. For a considerable period, Epic Games advertised this style as permanently obtainable. The abrupt announcement of its removal, therefore, caused significant backlash.
Some players even considered legal action, threatening a class-action lawsuit, believing the change violated terms and conditions. However, Epic Games swiftly reversed its decision within 24 hours. The Matte Black style is now available to all Master Chief skin owners who play a single game on an Xbox Series S|X.
This reversal appears to be the most sensible outcome, particularly given the holiday season. Such a controversial move could easily have soured the festive spirit for many players.
