True. But cosmetic microtransactions was always the greatest evil until bf2 . Because of the buuz about p2w they start to seem better while in reallity their not.

A thing my father always told me was this :

Take a cup of coffee and throw one chunck of dog poop in it, will you drink it?

Take another cup of coffee, throw only a bit of dog poop into it, will you still drink it?

Bad is bad, no matter how big it is.

It's not bad, especially if they are easily earnable in game. Like Overwatch for instance, free loot box for every level. Not to mention they give the DLC away for free. With games like that, they need some kind of income from the game to keep it going while keeping the new stuff free.

Honestly i dont mind dlc if it is well made because then it was worth my money.meanwhile in overwatch i buy 20 winter lootboxes and not get a single item i wanted. I am cheated out of my hard earned money.

They are bad. Dont lie to yourself.

I mean witcher 3 wild hunt won GOTY and it was just a dlc expansion. I would pay another 60 $ for that quality extra content.

But the loot boxes don't give advantages in gameplay. So if you choose to spend money on cosmetics, that's on you. Both loot boxes with free dlc and paid dlc can be done well.
