Hottake.
Is it just me or is it wrong to charge money for this game and then include microtransactions? I get that they're just for cosmetics but it just feels scummy imo.
I know that this game is dirt cheap and the devs have got to make money somehow, but why include a premium currency?

No its not.
Especially since its not needed for the game, its just looks and you have the option to just not get it.

Thank you for your insightful and thought provoking answer.
I aspire to be like you and I marvel at the ones who might have raised such a wise and powerful guru of the art of language.
You're thoughts have brought a lot to the table on the subject of this post and the insight brought by them will have me thinking this thought when I'm on my deathbed.
This is a beautiful and meaningful moment in the history of Steam forum posts and I'm incredibly happy but amazed to be living in these times where such a miracle might happen.

You are so late on the argument, every Battle Pass in existence since it became popular, has you at least Pay for Premium at least once, for merely cosmetics, even paid games

Besides, no one is asking you to buy them, they're there if you want to, but as an extra bit of info, buying things as such gives them revenue, whether they are going to use it to improve the game, make newer games or just flourish in their profits, it helps them either way in some way or another

Some people want to give developers money for doing something they think is great, so microtransactions help in that way as well, so just having a paid price for the game isn't enough for such situations, I've seen several games be requested to want to pay more to support the developers, most make DLCs, but so actually do have a price list of DLCs to support the developers in select games

Good Luck & Have Fun :smiling:

Fair enough, I just think it's a little annoying when i pay for a game and it has microtransactions in it, and yeah I'm really late to the argument. (i was tired when i wrote the post lmao)
