It seems like the only reason this system could possibly have been implemented would be to promote impulse purchases. What’s the dilemma in allowing people to buy the cosmetic items when they’re available as opposed to an artificially limited rotation?
I suppose technically you could say that about any skin that gets removed after a period of time, but I think it’s within norms to have temporary promotional events (holidays, competitions, etc.)
I’ve seen a few people talk about it but there seems to be a larger population who just immediately accepted this as the new standard with no question as to the moral rationale behind it.
Do you think this is predatory behavior? Is it ludicrous to people that anyone should complain about microtransactions?
Maybe I’m in the minority of people beating a dead horse, but I feel like the community should be keeping gaming companies in check with these sorts of practices.
