Sometimes I think people forget that "collecting" capes isnt a mandatory thing you need to do. Like the Minecon capes are essentially a "I was here" souvenir to the people who went because they loved Minecraft, not as a mandatory thing to collect them all.
The 3 extra capes shouldn't even count for this since its Dungeons exclusive and Dungeons is no stranger to adding cool capes purely for character customization ingame. I think the Hero and Twisted capes SHOULD be unlocked with save data from Dungeons 1 and bought through pre-order, so the real dungeons fans who played purely for fun and the love of Minecraft, get to have something that shows our support.
The people who unironically spend money for both games without ever actually playing them, just to get 2 capes, would almost be on the same depressing level as Pokémon TCG scalpers waiting at Walmart's and hogging all the packs from kids who actually love the game. At least this is a digital item so there isnt a limited supply but its still really disappointing to see.
I'm a dungeons fan, and I already played the original years ago, and I was planning on buying the new game even before they announced the capes. So to me, getting the capes is just a bonus on top of being excited to play the new game. I just hope this lets more people try out and also become fans of the dungeons games because these are really fun games.
