If reception to Baldur’s Gate says anything, it’s that people hate microtransactions in their AAA games.

    For full price games on release? No, they really aren’t.

    People always says “cosmetics are fine”. They aren’t. Cosmetics are gameplay. Humans love looking cool. They NEED it a lot of the time. The entire fashion industry wouldn’t exist if looking cool wasn’t a major part of human psyche. These MTX wouldn’t sell if it wasn’t. Locking all or most of the interesting looks behind additional paywalls is bullshit. And it’s not OK. I don’t engage with games that do that. There’s plenty to play that don’t abuse their customers.
