The fun in a fighting game is the core gameplay loop and improving. Showing off progress isn’t through a skin, it’s by your performance. If someone dislikes the core loop, they’re likely not playing long even if there’s a hat they think is really cool

I’d say this case is a bit different though. It’s all cosmetic. I guess you can argue that tmnt/other branded adds dilute the game’s aesthetic and make it a worse product overall. However, that would be the case whether or not they were paid. Costumes and other purely aesthetic paid DLC are probably the least egregious of paid content.

@Chozo I wonder if it has anything to do with Overwatch 2 on steam?

Well it depends on your goals with the platform. If you want a one stop shop to get all the necessary information in an efficient time then megathreads are great. It’s also good at stopping a specific type of content from taking over a forum while still providing an outlet for people to discuss.

If your goal is to idly consume content, then a megathread probably sucks. Same if you want to be an influencer, it’ll cut down on your exposure. Megathreads also can hide major developments that can hide behind a thread that people should be notified about. And if there wasn’t much content on a platform to begin with… A megathread can force a ghost town.

There are definitely both good and bad things about Megathreads and there’s a ton of depth and nuance that could be had.

In this case, I’m not sure whether a megathread was warranted or not though
