There are some niceties from it, primarily that it keeps games affordable to virtually everyone. The price of a video game hasn’t really changed since the 90s.

There are some niceties from it, primarily that it keeps games affordable to virtually everyone. The price of a video game hasn’t really changed since the 90s. If anything, it’s come down given how many major games are F2P these days. I don’t think it’s abhorrent in principle that people with expendable income bankroll the game for people without in exchange for silly skins. Somebody has to pay, and I suspect the upfront purchase price will be higher than people expect.
