Lets talk about Micro transactions

[Skivvy]

But this attitude applies to anything sell-able not just gaming. It was going to happen with online becoming more and more of a thing. Games used to be complete because there was no internet to update them, or not good internet. Times have changed. MMO's naturally drift towards this model to scrape up a profit (when sub-based), I mean look at WoW, they did the same thing and whether you like it or not, it's still going strong.

There are exceptions to this rule of course, where you need to buy the game and HAVE to buy the micros/dlc. I don't agree with those models (looking at you Destiny 1 that locked me out of content I had purchased....) But in the end the attitude is the same. Either buy it or don't....

I do realize that microtransactions are here to stay, and I think at this time SE's shop does not really delve into the P2W category, but I do feel they've been a bit heavy handed with it.

In my opinion, the general pricing of items is way too high, especially for items that are not shared by the whole account. The speed of which exclusive outfits are created and put on the Mogstation seems a bit much to me as well, but I expect opinions will vary on that part.
