   if you don’t care for cosmetics, I suppose it doesn’t matter? since the devs have confirmed that all content will be free

   I suppose if someone wanted to standby their principle of never buying a game with mtx then that’s also fair.

   ignoring the fact my computer really can’t run the game, I’m personally waiting to see how the game shakes out. the gameplay loop just doesn’t seem compelling

   Better way to save is not to buy it, the less who buy it the stronger the message that games should NOT be this exploitative with microtransactions.

   Squenix does this every couple of games, aggressively add Microtransactions into one game… and if no one buys them, they don’t put them into the next few games.

   But my biggest Irk is Marvel/Disney approved this Cash Shop game in all its functions, they approved SWNF2 lootboxes. They need to be sent the message too.

      All the mtx can be earned for free just takes time and work. No issue with it. Better than them adding characters and charging for them.

         My issue with it is that it means the gameplay loop will be grindy and unsatisfying because they want you to pay to skip it.

         There will most likely be “rewards” for only playing a small amount every day to keep you playing for more months and the cash shop will cycle every now and again to fuel a fear of missing out to try and encourage you to buy everything just in case it doesnt get put back in the rotation for months or at all.

         Better buy that spiderman skin now just in case its gone before you can finish grinding it out.

         “All the MTX can be earned in game” is just a passable excuse for the time sink grind they purposely built into it. There are atrocious examples of all over the industry.

         If I game developer doesn’t value my TIME, they don’t get to value my MONEY!

            Interesting take on it. Warfrane for example is loved by just about everyone yet have the same kind of thing. Large grind, sometimes massive, for stuff or pay to unlock it. And that goes for characters as well so in a lot of ways its worse. Yet no one bats an eye and sings the devs praise.

               Might be because compared to any other game I’ve ever seen it’s actually surprisingly easy to earn platinum (the paid currency) in Warframe just by selling items you can get while playing.

               The developers have also done things in the past like remove or reduce the platinum cost of items/features because people were using them too much. As well as adding extra items to paid packs after getting feedback from the community that there wasn’t enough in said packs to justify their prices.

               Warframe is an example of a developer who turned around and put down some really hard rules about what they want out of microtransactions for their free-2-play game.

               They pulled a microtransactions and refunded money after the metrics showed someone paid for 200 random items in a single day… they even rolled back of the original grinds for being too rng and unfocused.

               Warframe doesnt cost 99 dollars for a free to play style monetization system.

         You can do the same with AC: Odyssey. Yet it’s take over a year…oooorrrrr you could pay a small sum of over $200

   I hope they fix up the UI because it is dreadful, it does that same stupid effect that Division 2 did, where it is blurry and constantly shimmering into focus.
