The chat log just said when it ended. It said nothing about "you can't spend these after 6/14." That was in a link... which are impossible to follow on console. You can't really say that it was announced in game...

Why is everyone so mean/condescending?
All we're asking as that SQEX don't change up the rules for limited-time events!
So it's SE's fault that people chose not to inform themselves when they could have simply followed that link to inform themselves...
I'm gonna take a page out from another developer...
Don't you guys have phones? This info could have been obtained with a couple minutes time. Anyone on PC has even less of an excuse as they could highlight, CTRL + C, gone to their browser of choice, CTRL + V/right click paste and would have saw the pertinent info.
At any point anyone; upon logging in, should have seen that message. The fact that people chose to disregard where they could find details is the fault of those that chose to disregard. Not mine, not someone else's, and not SE's.
Edit
And it's not being condescending to point out that the info was readily given to people. It was online, it was in the launcher, and it was ingame. It's simply holding people accountable to their actions/choices.
