MODERATORS
Buying games with MTX in is supporting the inclusion of them, whether you buy the MTX or not.
Anyone who disagrees with that fact also thinks it's okay to go to the casino just for the bar at the back.
Buying a game with MTX but not buying the MTX essentially wastes the money and time the company spent on putting the MTX there in the first place, way I see it.
If it exists, the game has suffered because of it, if it exists, people will spend money on it. The systems are designed to prey on how we think, they shouldn't exist.
It costs them barely anything, it's cosmetics the artists on payroll would be making regardless of if they are selling them or not, because they would just be unlockable.
Idk, the game is great and I distinctly remember people crying about stuff like this with DD2.
I'll tell you what I said then. I was not tempted to buy any MTX in MH Wilds until I started reading the comments of people crying about it.
This is a basic fucking character creator we're talking about. If you're so spastic that you need to change your characters model every day, we have very different reasons for playing video games.
Let me put it this way. This is Monster Hunter. Why the fuck does your character looking a certain way mean so much to you? If it does mean so much, make a new character - the game hasn't even been out for 3 days. These problems are literally non-issues.
Hard disagree.
