The problem with optional cosmetics in a single player game is that cosmetic items are fundamentally status signals. If it's not a multiplayer game, people wont care. As an analogy, nobody buys fashionable clothes to wear at home.
This is why most single player games that are free to play go for the "pay for more lives" model. If you want more fun you need to pay.

- brigadier132 2y agoYou're arguing against my analogy and no analogy is perfect. I don't know why people buy luxury pyjamas but I'd bet it's not a large market and I suspect part of it is related to comfort which has no bearing on games.
