How are you actively listening to a stream for the giveaway announcement while simultaneously giving what sounds like an important presentation? It takes them like 5 minutes from the time they announce the giveaway, to hype it, give the keyword, and then have their bot pick someone, before finally announcing who won. And the keywords aren’t repeated in the same stream (e.g. itsohpee 5x). I also doubt they’d use tacobell as the keyword unless they had some form of endorsement or sponsoring.

But logic errors aside, people shouldn’t have to watch a stream for a dismal chance to win a skin. I get it though...that’s their streaming gimmick. Purposefully create a skin that stands out, make it super exclusive (while big streamers seem to have it), make people feel like they have a chance to get the skin (when the odds are grossly stacked against them), leverage the super exclusive skin via their streams, and put “hollow” in the stream title to entice people to watch, in turn padding their viewer stats.

I simply do not agree with the approach. It’s akin to other deceptive practices used to manipulate people, like FOMO store rotations, except they get your time and view stats in lieu of money, which still translates to marketing and more potential money.

Hi there! I absolutely used tacobell as the keyword. We discuss more than just Spellbreak on streams. I believe it was lunch being discussed. The local Taco Bell by me was under renovations and a local was so upset that they drove their car into it, making the reno's take much longer than expected. Yesterday they finally reopened and I was super excited to go there and get lunch.

It's not just about the game, it's about community and having a good time chatting about all sorts of things. Also, it was not sponsored or endorsed. It was simply a keyword.

Not all big "streamers" have it, there are quite a few people that don't stream with it. We had other ways to get the Hollow outfit in the past that were not on stream but as of right now, those ways don't scale quite as well. We are looking into ways for more folks to get it but we also want it to be exclusive/limited.

Hello there! Welcome to Spellbreak! This is the Hollow outfit, currently given out on our official Twitch streams. We have been discussing additional ways to acquire it, but there is nothing official at this time.

Grind to become a big content creator or streamer and ive heard the devs will give it to you for free that’s prolly the only way to get it other then tuning in to the proletariat streams

We've given them away for a number of reasons. The first time, it was for people who found a dev at PAX 2019 and asked about it. After that, there were various quests we came up with during alpha/beta play tests, events, special things that have been done for the game, etc. Basically, it's an outfit that the community team distributes on a super limited basis in a variety of ways they deem fit.

Why are two of the best skins blind faith and hollow so exclusive? I mean at least make it so we can get one of them via battle pass. Jesus chris

Blind Faith was only available for the Limited Edition founder packs from 2018. They aren't given out at all due to being part of limited edition purchases.
