The skin is exclusive to the Paragon Essential Edition. It was a hard copy game release with the Open Beta for PS4 only. The code only works for PS4. So if you are a PC player you need to get a friend to let you use it via their PS4 or you are SoL. It also comes with other goodies including 6000 coins.

Exactly. I'm OK with them selling an early access title (I mean I paid money to play it). BUT just look at the packaging. Does it clearly indicate anywhere that it is an Early Access game? (Hint: It does not). The game is in early access. Having a product on a shelf in a retail environment PRICED as a full game, that doesn't explicitly state the game is still in early access is misleading, and a poor decision IMO by an otherwise solid company.
Don't get me wrong. I like Paragon, and hope it does well in the long run. But this particular thing just leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
EDIT:
Amazon link:

The fact it is in closed beta is only mentioned after all of the 'cool features' in the 4th bullet point, and nowhere on the actual box art shown.
I'm not sure who you mean when you say they didn't have it for long - Amazon or players refunding the Essentials Edition. Amazon actually had it stocked for quite a while. It probably didn't sell very well until Paragon became a download on PSN, and major retailers started deep discounting it. That's when it actual became valuable because of the code inside the game. You can actually see 3rd-party sellers drove the price above Amazon's after they had sold out. This is a link to a chart that shows the history of the Essentials Edition on Amazon.

There seems to be a high chance a lot information spreading regarding Amazon refund success ends up being misinterpreted. Some people got refunds approved because they bought it from Amazon (the company). Others got denied because they bought from Amazon (the website) but actually through 3rd-party sellers. No one has really been specifying they bought it from Amazon (the company) when they say their refund was approved. It's confusing because in general discussion it doesn't matter who's selling it and more that it was bought on/off/from/through Amazon because of the price.
I have only seen what I got on ps4.

Amazon has a couple of "New" ones. They should also bring the code.

Interesting, any idea if is this one https://www.amazon.com/Paragon-Essentials-PlayStation-4/dp/B01CTCR25C/ ? Also any idea if it got a release on PC? Would be cool to get it eventually just to have it on my shelf as collection

Looks like it is some sort of currency pack for PS4 hmmm
I simply commented on how the "ITS A BETA BRO CALM DOWN ITS NOT EVEN SHIPPED" is the worst arguement ever. People all over this sub use it CONSTANTLY for literally every complaint.
Greystone OP? Beta, bro
Cards need a rework? Beta, Bro
They changed the title music and I hate it? Beta, bro
Its maddening. And also, they are selling a phsyical game disc through multiple channels, so it HAS shipped.
