While the suspicious eBay profile mentioned before has also had other content on sale – sometimes for as much as $300 per code – the distribution of Savini Jason was no doubt both the most profitable item and the one that brought too much attention to the account and resulted in this theft discovery.
Savini Jason has its own unique set of advantages and disadvantages, most of which make it a fairly formidable character compared to other Jasons.Įxclusivity aside, there have been several instances where Savini Jason has mistakenly become available, but Gun Media has vowed to never sell the Jason version again. While it's still often referred to as a skin, it does more than just change Jason's appearance. Now that some of the game's most glaring problems have been fixed via patches, the majority of gamers can look forward to new content like additional horror-themed Easter Eggs. Recently, the news that developer Illfonic was already producing another game received a negative backlash from fans who still had concerns about Friday The 13th's development, prompting Illfonic to state that support for the title had definitely increased since it became a hit among fans. Despite this increase in support staff, some issues - like Microsoft or Sony accidentally releasing Kickstarter exclusive skins - appear to be outside of the studio's control.Īt the time of this writing, it appears that Microsoft has fixed the issue with the skin's availability.įriday the 13th: The Game is available now on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.It might be hard to understand how upsetting the content theft is to some Friday the 13th: The Game players unless you know the history of Savini Jason, a Jason Voorhees variant that's extremely rare to see in-game.įor those who backed the game quite early in its development, backers were promised the Savini Jason "skin," a hellish version of Jason designed by and named after acclaimed effects artist Tom Savini. Given Gun Media's prior stance on the subject, it's unlikely the skin will be made for purchase from the general public, either.
Of course, gamers who hadn't bought into the Kickstarter tiers have been quite happy to download the skin while it's available, as it's not likely that Sony or Microsoft will make the same mistake again.
Gun Media promised that the Tom Savini design would never become publicly available, and it's unfortunate that a game which has been plagued by many glitches and issues from the start has also been unable to protect backer-exclusive content meant for those who supported it from the beginning.
