Online Store is Getting Worse!

I mean, emulation and mods are always gonna be a thing. But it's hard to compare FFXIV as a game full of microtransactions/DLC like certain other games out there. There's nothing for sale in the MogStation that I couldn't just .dat swap if I really REALLY needed some glamour for the day. Outside of boosts/fantasia, I guess.

Conan Exiles is a good recent example of a wrong decision for in game shop that I'd happily mod my way around. Or maybe gacha games like Genshin Impact. Or the godawful mess that is Diablo Immortal.

Funny you mention Conan Exiles considering modders are doing the same thing to fix the devs mistakes with the new races, lmao. Also, it's a bit disingenuous to compare a f2p game like waifu impact to a monthly sub game like Final Fantasia XIV. Though the fact you can make comparisons to those two when it comes to cash shop stuff is a bit worrying!

Edit:

are you going to tell me that expansions packs are not dlc and the mogshop is not a key example of microtransactions? I just reread what you posted and I got a good chuckle at this gem, lol.
