I feel betrayed

Warning: RANT ON. I expect the flack and downvotes, but try to keep a constructive mind.

Context: +3000hrs hunter here, fanboy from the first hour of this very special and unique game, i haven't missed a single event since the game launched. Completed each one of them. Sometimes with great pain.

I have not tatooed myself the Hunt logo but I own all the merch...OK calm down, i'm not stating anything more, than yeah...I LOVED the game and its universe.

SO: Like many players out here (and notibly on this sub), I have been very disappointed with the recent attacks from the devs to the game's identity. The addition of the Ghost Face skin was the first threat.

A pop culture incursion in a very unique and otherwise distinctive universe was an immersion breaker for me. But for the love of the game, I had been able to get past this and give the devs a second chance, hopping that it was nothing more than a temporary madness stroke (I won't adress why Santa Claus, Red Hood, and other skins are not the same level of threat as Ghost Face as it's been already discussed largely on here)

...but then....the Post Malone, weird, very buttlickin' and cringe event came out. And oh boy, was I dumbfounded... Hear me out, I like the guy (he seem to have a caring personnality and his music is sometimes quite enjoyable) but man, the ENTIRE event of a western/horror game revolving around a pop/rap artist like this is just too Fortnity/CODy for my personnal taste.

Those CAMEOS have nothing to fucking do in the rich, gritty and immersive universe of Hunt Showdown. They ARE out of place.

The clows are fine, but damn, not a facking rapper in my bayou/colorado for the love of Mr Chary...

To be short, I boycotted this event ENTIRELY...And I know I'm surely missing on some great features, but I had to add acts to my words.

If "we" (veterans or new players disappointed by this type of nonsense) do nothing more thant bitching on reddit about it, imagine how our lobbies are gonna look like in two years: Cowboy hat Post Malone, Snoop Dog and Nicki Minaj fighting Ghost Face, Macho Man Randy Savage and Bill Cosby? Gimme a break...

We have to strike where it hurts. The money. The steam stats. Don't play the event, don't buy the battlepass, don't buy the skins. Send a message.

They have a freaking buttload of IPs to collab with (I want a Read Dead collab, a Tombstone collab (where are my Wyatt Earp/Doc Holliday skins already?), a Django collab...)

GRANTED, "it's JUST a game". But it's a game i genuinely love, with passion. And, as a passionned man, I allow myself to react with passion. Feel free to disagree.

RANT OVER. Just so I know I'm not alone in this fight, who have passed on this event like me, in spite of recent changes to the core universe of Hunt Showdown?
