Oh, how fascinating. Exactly! And how exactly does that make it better than any other CPPS which (most of them) doesn't even require membership to do anything? It's legal, there are no scandals surrounding them and they're the original product. Although a few are fun like CPR, I always prioritize CPI before them all as it's the original. People who put CPPSes over the original thing, I consider them fake fans. And... how exactly do those factors change anything? After all, people are least likely to choose the awful "real deal" over a fake which atleast has a similiar formula and brings in more fun. You know what I don't care, I lost most respect for people who protest on CPI and constantly harass the team anyways, so I don't want to dive into why they like CPPSes more. The difference is that in CPI, there is hardly anything for non-members, and while some don't care much, much of the non-members have sticked around even a longer time than you did in classic CP. Most of us supported it by letting the CP Team what's wrong with it (bugs for instance), made fanon works, purchased membership, encouraged others to play it, and so on and in return, the CP Team didn't show much appreciation to its fanbase especially in 2016, and now with CPI here, they are hardly giving non-members a good taste of the game. Even the pre-registered items are wearable for members only.

The unused description for the Alumni Jacket (CPI) is "A reward for your dedication to the community" and ironically, it's wearable for members only. Is that their way of saying thank you? The CP Team brought a 3rd Frozen Party which it's a carbon copy and paste of the 2nd Frozen Party, which nobody asked for it. While there was a portion of the fanbase that weren't loyal, that doesn't mean that a huge portion of players should be treated the same way. It's truly unfair the way CPI Team is treating us. Even Rsnail (founder of CP) knows that the membership restrictions are ridiculous and that it won't last long if it continues like this.

How can the fans be loyal to the CPI Team if the CPI Team don't demonstrate value and appreciation to the fanbase?
