For me the sweet spot would be itemizing those $25 cosmetic sets so you can buy pieces of them at a time for a couple of bucks, even if piecemeal it’s a couple bucks more in total. I’m not likely to buy a $25 set but I’ll buy those 6 items at $5 a piece every time.

I’d suggest the developers themselves are probably not the ones pushing for the inclusion of microtransactions of any kind. Also, cosmetic shops are likely here to stay unless there’s some other way to support long-term development on games like Warzone, Fortnite, and Diablo.

Personally, I am okay with there being cosmetic content that is entirely unattainable without a cash purchase, so long as there is still cosmetic content attainable without microtransactions and the purchased content doesn’t yield any other advantage.

I can accept that I can’t have everything without buying it, far more than I could accept the standard price of a video game going up to $100-$120.

Question about how this whole thing works: downvotes are disabled in this instance, does that mean that being a member of Beehaw means I can’t downvote, or does that mean that posts and comments within the Beehaw instance can’t be downvoted?

Hey now. Calling him a game show host is diminishing his filmography significantly. He was also an extra in Home Alone 2.

My first ever was Dragon Quest I (originally called Dragon Warrior), which you can get and play on Android/iOS or emulate, depending on what kind of JRPG you’re looking for. Dragon Quest XI on newer consoles is also a terrific classic-style game in the genre.

I too stand at the wall nursing my drink and waiting for someone near me to have a loud conversation I can contribute to
