"An idea was discussed internally yesterday that we really like. It's simple - We will allow players to purchase Air Drops of care packages like food, water."

Now it doesn't mention guns, I'll give you that, but the way everyone has been talking it sounds like this came 100% out of left field. It's clear they've been talking about this for a long time, and there is actually a lot of support for the idea in that thread.

So can we maybe talk about issues like this without asking for people to be fired and demanding refunds and give the devs a couple of days to look at out feedback? This is how game dev works. You try something, it's probably complete shit, so you try something else.
