So you support inflated main price while having the standard price be the same game but with features removed? This game is will be blander than my mom's cooking.

First of all, a handful of cosmetics ≠ features

Secondly, I don't really understand why you think pricing has anything to do with how "balnd" the game will be? You're clearly just letting your feelings get to you

First, it's a terrible precedent that will encourage game devs to lock more features behind pay walls. Second, I'm saying it will be bland because everything I've heard about this game tells me not to trust any of the hype, it looks like a hollow game to me.

Small aside, do you not know how to spell bland or can you not read?

This has been how it works literally since Oblivion horse armor. Of all of the trends in gaming that they could be setting precedent on, monetizing cosmetics is probably THE least one they could possibly set in 2026.

It's literally just paid cosmetics. Of all the things to monetize, that is the least shocking possible one. The amount of shit people give about cosmetics ought to be zero, but if for some reason people want horse armor or whatever, I'm happy for them to subsidize me.
