Much of the gaming industry uses this model. All those free to play games with skins/cosmetic things to buy are there for the sole intend of separating people from their money for things that are probably really low cost for a game studio compared with creating new content.
- kup0 4y agoAt least cosmetics do not affect the gameplay or fairness in any way. I think that's an important distinction to make. In Diablo Immortal you're paying for actual gear or items that help enhance that gear. I have no problem with people buying fancy skins (or companies making money on them) because it doesn't provide players any advantage. However, do I think sometimes even cosmetics can get rather expensive / predatory / addictive? Yes, they're not immune to other problems. Especially when they come in loot boxes. Rocket League has some neat cosmetics but I'll be damned if I'm going to pay $20 for a neat looking goal explosion or whatever...
