After accidentally putting the Go Home! emote in the Item Shop, Epic Games has tried to make it up to the Fortnite community by giving players free items or V-Bucks based on when they got the emote. There are various ways to determine how exclusive a cosmetic is in Fortnite, and the criteria have shifted greatly over the years. Some fans care about how exclusive an item is or might be in the future. This has led to controversy and backlash when certain items return to the game after some time.
Epic Games has made mistakes in the past and brought back cosmetics that fans thought would never be made available again. An incident that was particularly controversial was when it brought back Rogue Agent as an Item Shop cosmetic, even though it was initially sold as a Starter Pack back in Chapter 1 Season 3. However, this is just an example among several, as Fortnite has seen multiple exclusive cosmetics return to the Item Shop when they were expected not to be for sale again.
Epic Games unexpectedly changes the end time of Fortnite Galactic Battle, the current Star Wars mini-season, creating speculation among the community.
