As long as cosmetics can also drop as part of playing the game, I don't care if the shop's charging people $25 for a gear set, because I don't need to buy it.

You're probably right there. Unfortunately, at least in the US, our government is still largely controlled by people who were born before the cordless phone was invented, or damn near it. They're still learning how to send an email with an attachment, so it'll be a while before they're made to care about microtransactions.

True. It's not like microtransactions are the biggest issue with our world to begin with, I just see them as a symptom of the complete drive towards nightmare rentier capitalism where nobody will own anything except the hyper rich and we'll all have to pay subscription fees for every little service in our lives.
