I mean yeah but gamers keep supporting shitty companies that provide the exact opposite in record numbers so we don’t get stuff like this much anymore.

Yeah, shitty companies like Valve with their lootbox nonsense and other gambling mechanics are really bringing the industry down.

They’re entirely cosmetic in Valve games as far as I’m aware

The argument of cosmetic only microtransactions is also a bit of a weak one because it’s the sort of content that would usually just be in the base game, unlockable via gameplay or tied to cheat codes.

Cosmetic only is still better than other types but it’s still a case of the lesser of two evils.

Cosmetic-only microtransactions in Free to Play games are absolutely fine, and should be encouraged. Those games wouldn’t exist without them.

In paid games it’s a different matter though, sure.
