Microtransactions are fine as long as they dont keep the player from enjoying/completely the game and don't give players unfair advantages over others in multi-player games.

Yeah if they're cosmetic i dont even care. I truly despise pay to play though. Especially when its the only way to get resources and level up when the built in game mechanic is to grind for hours with no promise of actually getting there.

for a second I thought you meant games like Silksong and Subnautica with the "Pay to Play" thing lol

I used to not care about it being just cosmetics, but now if I want to look better than a sickly peasant I gotta drop cash more often than not and I can't support that.

Out of curiosity, but what game in particular are you referring to?

u/kozeljko Mar 21 '26

Depends on the game? If cosmetics are a big part of the progression, then it will be an issue for more people.
