Gear hub releases. I need an explanation

So I have asked before what determines what gets released to gear hub for in game resources and when. Because often it has seemed like plarium reserves better, more popular items to p2p and crate rushes for longer. 

But Drew has said something different. He said the more requested items come to gear hub sooner. So then why is it Silverthorn has just come to gear hub for in game resources and Deathwalker hasn't yet? Silverthorn is a 6 months old mech, and Deathwalker is a 1 year and 6 months old mech. And correct me if I'm wrong, but I highly doubt more people were requesting Silverthorn than Deathwalker.

So it seems to me like Drew lied. But am I right Drew? Did you lie? Or what's the deal here? If that wasn't a lie then why has Silverthorn becone available in gear hub before Deathwalker?

Thanks for your question! 🙏 Gear Hub releases depend on multiple factors, like popularity, demand, and balancing free-to-play and paid content. Sometimes this means some mechs appear later than expected. We appreciate your feedback and will pass it along to the team for consideration.

Why Velocity did you not answer my question? And is Drew not active on forums anymore?

We always try to share updates as new content becomes available, so stay tuned! 😉

We work together with Drew, so you’ll see replies from both of us.

Good to know Drew will still be active. I was beginning to think the forums was where new CMs are active until another new one comes in and they graduate.

As for gear hub releases, you didn't actually answer my question. I'd like a real answer. What determines what content gets released to purchase in gear hub for in game resources sooner and what content becomes available for in game resources later. Do you hold back stronger, more popular conten for longer? Because it seems like you hold back stronger, more popular content as p2p and occasional crate rush exclusive for longer.
