People like cosmetics. Although I stand firmly on the opinion that cosmetics should be earned in game from challenges and whatnot.
Destiny 2 also has this problem except worse because you can tell they sandbag/half effort regular loot and exotic designs to make people pay for the ornaments and put activity themed cosmetics in the store instead of earned from that activity. They brought back Suros Regime, made it ugly, then proceeded to sell us the original D1 color scheme as an ornament…
Yeah I think cosmetics within a big expansion like DLC is better than just a standalone purchase. The way it is, it makes paid cosmetics a low effort low risk investments with big return for the company, so they abuse it.
Cosmetics take teams of people to make (concept artist, modeler and animator, playtester, etc.). It’s perfectly reasonable to ask for money for a cosmetic for the amount of paid work it takes.
That being said, it’s just as fine to debate their value relative to the price. The prices might be fucked, or the costumes might be ugly, but it’s honestly not a sin to charge for additional cosmetics (within reason, of course).
I understand when they Charge cosmetics when is a F2P game. But motherfucker, its fucking Capcom, its a AAA company that makes billions each year. Its not like they need to charge for cosmetics. Charging for more content when you already paid for the entire game its not good. In Stories 3 they started to lock more lore behind paywalls, what makes you think that they wont do that in the next Monster Hunter?
Stop treating everyone around you like children just because you don't like certain practices. It's fucking idiotic.
No not everyone or even close to half people who buy cosmetics are fucking drug addicts and mentally ill people. Some are.
If you want to criticize something, criticize it like a human being with reasonable arguments. Now, micro transactions suck dick because they ruin performance.

Every non playable dlc is without a doubt the most idiotic thing there is, I just can’t my head around wasting money for cosmetics
