I've said it before and i will say it again, there needs to be another video game crash. It did wonders in the 80's and made games better for the most part. Gaming has gone to shit, damn near evey FPS has a battle royal mode for some stupid reason, filled with lootboxes,microtransactions,etc.

As long as it is for cosmetic-only items that don't affect gameplay... who cares?

People who remember when non-gameplay altering fun stuff wasn't something you had to pay extra for?

Corporate shilling is gross.

So you think a game is significantly less fun if your character can't look a certain way unless you shell out extra money?

If that's true then I simply disagree.

I like how Rocket League did it, where you unlocked a lot of cosmetics in game and then could support the devs through MTX (since it was a cheap game anyway).

Kinda gave up on that since Epic bought Psyonix though.
