Agreed. While I still dislike the idea of cosmetic microtransactions, I can somewhat agree with their use in a multiplayer game if they’re being justified as “we use this money so we don’t have to charge for content and everyone gets the content.” Kinda like Overwatch, where every single player gets the new heroes and…

This.
