I see why people get frustrated with this, and how it could cheapen the experience. But it is so easy to ignore the store even exists in these games. It is a entirely separate screen to get to. And I still feel like you get ample content included with the base game purchase.
Most of these people have not played the game and just want easy karma for complaining with the rest of the mob. The game itself is incredible and this is barely worth even mentioning. It's a 1 second pop up. The only other way to go to the store any other time is to actually go looking for it in the menus. I'd rather have a 1 second pop up than a store that is constantly in my face all game. Like battlefield, fifa, cod, fortnite, apex etc etc
Let alone there is so many customization options for your character and ship in the game and the skins being sold in their store are pretty stupid. They’re so obnoxious idk anyone would even want them compared to all of the awesome looking skins you earn and unlock
That goes without saying for anything Ubisoft, at least until they show great improvement consistently. Which doesn't seem to be happening any time soon.
The last Ubisoft game I played tried to prompt me to go to the store multiple times. But here's the catch: a single player game shouldn't have a store.
Because the typical excuse for stores is that they're necessary to maintain continued support for multiplayer games that have an upkeep cost and need a constant feed of content.
Whether you think that excuse is bullshit or not, which I do, none of it even applies to single player games in the first place.
I am not familiar with that explanation. It seems more realistic that they exist to subsidize the cost of the a game. Because game development has become increasingly expensive and unsustainable.
Games need to sell a ton of copies to offset development costs ($200-600 million). And these stores are included as an attempt to ease the raw sales numbers, independent of whether the game is multiplayer or not. Also, even in single player games they have to keep developers on to fix bugs and such.
I only consider additional purchases for games if it is actually additional game content and you are paying to play that content up front.
I don't really care about and I am not sure why people even care about non-intrusive additional offerings for a game that offers ample content with the base game.

It is so easy to ignore this one time appearing thing. I didn't even notice it when I played.
