Yeah, I know my disgust with MTs is partially due to the fact that my first console was the Commodore 64, and back in my day we ~dang~ ~new~ ~fangled~ ~vidja~ ~games~ ~gul~ ~dangit~

But I seriously think that any time the game developers spent creating paid cosmetics and the battle pass system is time they could have spent on literally anything else to improve the base game. Other titles, like Square Enix's Avengers game, definitely suffered because the company made monetization a higher priority than ensuring quality in the initial product at launch. I don't want future titles to be cash shops that happen to have a game attached to them, but the AAA studios all seem to be going in that direction.
