Stunlock Studios unveiled a battle royale mode for its MOBA brawler Battlerite in May, then earlier this month announced that it would actually be released as a standalone game called Battlerite Royale. Part of the reason for the shift was the "huge reaction" to the mode's announcement—presumably positive—but going by the comments section on Steam, not everyone is happy about this new change in direction. 

To help smooth things over, the studio has posted a new "Rewards and Discounts" update explaining in greater detail its reasons for making Battlerite Royale a standalone release, and what kinds of bones it's going to throw to existing Battlerite players.
