    As with everything, Late-stage capitalism and neoliberal ideology will be the downfall of this game and this industry.

    That the cash shop is bad. Like, Unethically so.
    And is only possible and justifiable on a capitalist market economy and a neoliberal ideological mindset or ruling ideology.

    It shouldn't exist.
    All those mounts should be attainable through sidequest, achievements and other rewards IN GAME.

    What are you even trying to say? Communism? This thread is going off the deep end..

    You're right, it shouldn't exist! Neither should the cash shop mounts. Those wouldn't exist.
