Fadeout Cosmetic Pass will be FREE starting August 1st.

I don't feel ethical selling DLC for a game I'm not updating. So on August 1st, the DLC will be FREE.
It's on sale right now for 99 cents as sort of a transitional period.

Thanks! I'm working on a way to reward people who supported the game early, but no promises!
Cheers,
