It is only about the milestone items that they specifically solicited money for with the expectation that there would be a reasonable chance at retrieving them once they were on sale. In the past they have NEVER advertised specific items, nor have they solicited money under the guise that doing so will provide you with a chance to buy other things you want cheaper, later.
It wouldn't be bad if 1. they hadn't accepted money in exchange for these items being on sale. Yes, that's what they did with the milestone event. These were a prize for anyone who spent money to unlock the milestones. and 2. If they had straight up said they would be in extremely limited quantities before the sale so consumers who were unsure could make an informed decision on whether or not to risk their money.
This is completely different from all of their other sales.
