The iconic Master Chief, star of the Halo franchise and a beloved Fortnite skin, recently returned to the item shop after a two-year hiatus. This brought much joy to fans, but a controversy quickly arose.
The original Master Chief skin included a special Matte Black style, exclusively offered to players on Xbox Series S|X consoles. For a considerable period, Epic Games advertised this style as permanently obtainable. Therefore, the abrupt announcement of its removal was met with significant backlash.
Player outrage escalated, with some even threatening a class-action lawsuit, claiming potential legal violations. 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 console.
This reversal appears to be the most sensible outcome, particularly given the holiday season. Spoiling the festive cheer with such a controversial move would have been ill-advised.
