I’ve never once paid a microtransaction for anything… fairly priced DLC that adds valuable playable content to the game, of course, but the fact that horse armor took off is pretty baffling to me.

I’ve done it a handful of times myself. Like after three years of playing DRG, I bought a cosmetic pack at a discount.

I don’t mind supporting a developer if they continue to support their game long term and are reasonable.
