The Lucido themed skins should only be aquirable by players who have participated in this community event, meaning only those who have atleast participated in a single Lucido kill during the event.
Please don‘t make this redeem code accessible for everyone. This is how community ingame events work, there are temporary exclusive rewards for those who participate.
This would be good for player retention and a sign of appreciation for your active playerbase.

I totally understand your perspective, and having temporary exclusive rewards is indeed common, especially in live-service games.
However, 33 Immortals isn't a live service game and we don't want to encourage FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) with our community events. We want everyone to feel welcome to participate, but we don't want to penalize players who didn't have time to play while the event was active (regardless of the reason).
That's why we usually give the rewards to the whole community. Also, redeem codes are only opt-in, for those who follow along, so in that sense, only those who do participate in our community will be the ones who claim the rewards.
The whole idea behind sharing the rewards with everyone reflects the spirit of cooperation at the heart of 33 Immortals: working together so the whole group benefits

The spirit of cooperation is called communism and it does not work for capitalist driven societies, especially for europeans who were raised by the holy european values, "we" all know that values too well 🙃

To be fair, I do not think it is that serious. I have probably only killed 5 Lucidos because no one would help me. By the standards you want to apply, if someone attempts to kill a Lucido and fails because the players they were with didn't help, they would be penalized as well. It was a community effort that hit the goal in a month as a collective effort.
Back in the day when towns were a collective community, people would share with each other. Someone who was sick was not expected to pay 10 fold when a neighbor walked over and gave them soup or checked in on them. In this case, the players who didn't participate were either unaware, busy, or tried to kill them but weren't able to. I do not think people intentionally hung back and let everyone do the work since you also gain from killing Lucidos.
It isn't communism, its a collective effort for the same goal. No one is taking from one and giving it to the other. No one gains or looses whether they participated or not. I would see it as like an event accessible for the public, everyone can go, but not everyone has to participate in the event activities, some people can just be there and support or hang out. Near the end of the event, say a band plays, you wouldn't limit the people who would watch the free show because they didn't participate or run a booth. Everyone can go see the band live.
It becomes an issue the moment people decides to apply politics to a digital code that is accessible by everyone, from an open event that was optional to everyone to participate in. If it was an event you had to pay for, then I would get angry...which I hope they aren't planning for the future. I genuinely do not think it is a big deal unless you actually paid money to participate, then you would have an argument.

The glazing of a poor decision is real…
To reward only those who participate in an event is a very common and fair practice. It's not like I have invented this basic logic standards. Those who were not able to kill a single Lucido during this entire event (not even hit it once while others killed it) should plain and simple not be rewarded.
The way Thunder Lotus handles this shows that they're not respecting players time. Yeah, you may try to glaze again with some fake socialism reasons or find some nice woke reasons why everybody should get everything, but this does not change the fact, that anyones time who played this game during this event is simply not respected and this is the number 1 reason that drives people away from a game.
Back in the day when a stranger walked by a cave he may have got murdered, not for fun, but to defend a family living in the cave 🥴
Trying to argue by referencing some usual village behaviour won't get you anywhere.
This game has no endgame proved content, currently only few players and the way they handle event rewards just adds more reasons to not play this game.

Arguing politics over a game is a bit silly. Once again, open event, optional, no competition. This is not big CEO who decides to give which employee bonuses. This is a game that people play in their downtime. Also, cavemen, at best, were early homo sapians where their brain was clocked on to survival or die 24/7 and was not adapted quite like we are now. If the wife didn't hunt, does she starve for watching the cave and making sure nothing bad happend? Beautiful think about a functioning society is we aren't cavemen. This is not socialism, this is not communism, this is projection of your ideologies to get your way. I would say the same to anyone else who tried to pull a card like that as well. Right, left, up, down, half, whole, I do not care. This is literally a video game and you are taking this way too personally for a Casual, Community, Event if you want exclusive items should have played beta, buy some DLC. I wasn't there for the origional code drops but I still got them. This is not a season pass or exclusive event, it was casual with no time limit and had it taken over a month, as soon as the goal was met they would still release it to the community.

I just responded accordingly to the subjects YOU brang up. You have no arguments for defending this poor decision by Thunder Lotus, yet still you try to glaze it.
When people don't have to participate at an event to get rewarded, than people won't care at all, this is not some "big CEO decision", this is basic human nature.
If all people would get paid money for doing nothing, guess how many people would still work?

There is a bit of irony in that last point because people already don't work and get paid. Also this was a subject you posted in the Suggestion/Feedback thread, I would think you would be more open to different ideas. Regardless, as someone who participated, I do not give a shit. It is 3 cosmetic items and that is it. You are trying to make it out to be like people paid for this event and slaved away to participate. It's almost like people were supposed to have fun, and I am once again certain the codes would have been released to the public regardless.

You seem to have difficulties to understand the simple fact, that giving away event cosmetics by codes anyone who has not participated in an event is a bad practice, that won't pay off, because it literally does not incentivize people to play the game, while at the same time it shows that those players time who participate is not respected.
In conclusion, this is a lose-lose practice, well except ofc for the people who don't play the game and randomly stumble across the codes.
