    You are the threat to games like Monster Hunter being fun and having community armpr unlocks for free.

    This exact goddamn attitude is why execs think things like the costume selection in Spider-man on PS4 is a waated monetization opportunity.

      I’d argue Capcom is the biggest threat to Monster Hunter being fun, since it’s been years and they still haven’t figured out how to do it, but I digress…

      I never said you can’t have Community armor unlocks, and I can’t think of a single game that I’ve played out there that has actively removed quest rewards From the game when they added the microtransaction system. The only thing I’ve seen is an increase in items available on the game via the micro transaction system.

      Then again I haven’t really played the monster hunter games either, I never found them appealing

        You’re not getting that the microtransaction system replaced free unlocks in most devlopments.

        Fighting games used to let you unlock costumes through gameplay. Dozens of them per character.

        Now you buy sets of 5 for $12.
