I wouldn’t mind if it were priced to actually make sense.
Like why would anything cost more than $1? Or even $0.01? Just greed and stupidity.
Microtransactions for cosmetic items that cost 25% or more of the base game itself are just insane. A whole game, or 4 cosmetic items, that must have taken sooo much effort to design those items to cost so much.
Eh sorry but even $0.01 is too much. Wanna make a free game and charge for micro transactions? Sure, heck, I even spent some on league of legends. But if Im paying for the game? I don’t care if its “just cometic!”, “actually a fair price”, “you can earn it in game”, all of that sounds like bullshit to me and always will.
If they don’t make any money they won’t bother with microtransactions at all.
So it’s either $0.01 for cosmetic items or they don’t make cosmetic items at all because You’ve already paid for the game, and making new things just costs them money.
You are set in your mind that those cosmetics wouldnt happen without microtransactions but the truth is that many games were made and still are where cosmetics aren’t held for ransom and the return for that exists in customer fidelity but ofc all AAA studios only care about immediate profit, gotta appease the share holders. As an example, witcher 3 had free cosmetic dlc.
