Will beta testers who spent money in the store receive items?

 Hi everyone,

I have a question regarding the upcoming free-to-play transition and the exclusive Steam inventory items for players who bought the game.

I originally got s&box for free during the beta developer preview, so technically I didn't purchase the $10 or $20 retail game license. However, I have bought a lot of cosmetics/items directly from the in-game s&box store with real money to support the game.

Since the loyalty items are meant to compensate players who financially supported the game before it went free-to-play, do we know if store spending will be factored into the eligibility? Has Facepunch or Garry mentioned if there is any crossover reward or compensation tier for dedicated beta testers who spent money in the store?

Thanks! 

no

How do you know this?

As much as I would love this I don’t think this is happening. Technically cosmetics are optional and buying a game only for it to be cheaper next day is salty so I get it. 

I would love for this to happen. We support the game with the purchases we do in the in-game store to support this game. I love to collect items and skins. Feel kinda sad that the ppl who support the game before will not have this. Because we couldn't buy the game aswell.

"Compensation tier for dedicated beta testers who spent money in the store?"

But nobody forced you to buy optional things; it should only cover the price of the game itself.
