Man, I wouldn't have even minded to spend a bit on cosmetics, but every option in logistics is retarded and not like
>they want to trick you into spending more
retarded, just regular
>but why though?
retarded. The first is the season pass thing that you have to buy with real money, then you unlock a tiered shop, where you have to spent your earned in-game currency to unluck the tiers to be allowed to buy items at all also with that same in-game currency (after the first step the player already gave you the money so why the torture?). Then you can buy a oc pilot for the price of a full game, but the character is just one complete thing, so you can't take parts like jacket and put it onto your custom pilot, contrary to the entire rest of the customization system (why sabotage something you want sell for so much money?). Then you have the first seasonal thing, where you have buy the main clothing piece first to be allowed to buy any of the accessories (usually it would at least be the other way around but I guess the devs think it's tempting to first buy an item for like 5x the price of the tiny accessory you want to have?) and then you have another tab of weekly rotating seasonal individual items (fuck you if next week there is an item that would've gone well with one of the previous week or EVER previewing them together). This shit isn't anti-consumer, it's anti-intelligence.
