I mean is it predatory? And following dark patterns? Or is there a cosmetic shop and thats about it? I dont mind mtx in indie games like that, but if they’re following dark patterns like a mobile game where it tries to create frustration so you pay then I have a problem. Developers gotta eat, and indies are extra hungry.
Honest question here. I’m not familiar with the game, but you seem to be upset that it offers cosmetic items for sale. One of your proposed solutions is to bundle all of the cosmetic items together and sell it as a DLC. What is the actual difference in those two options? Why does one of them seem acceptable to you while the other does not? They sound like the exact same thing to me.

That’s what makes money. Pointing at the 5-10 indie games that won the lottery isn’t really relevant to what is required for the average indie game.

Because they think it makes them more money?
