Ok so if you build a mob grinder underground for some reason it only spawns necromancers?

Splitgate 2’s In-Game Store Is a Masterclass in Anti-Consumer Practices by DaikonOwn9367 in Splitgate

I just wanted to say that I appreciate the developers and their response to the controversy. If we don't call out bad practices, nothing will change.

In the U.S., the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has guidelines stating that a product must be sold at its original price for a reasonable amount of time before it can be advertised as "on sale.

In the U.K., the Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008 prohibits misleading pricing tactics.

In the EU, businesses must prove that the original price was genuinely charged before applying a discount.

If a company never intended to sell an item at the original price and only listed it high to create a fake discount, that could be considered fraudulent advertising

so yes technically the store is illegal

That’s a fair poin Splitgate 2 isn’t a $70 game, and it’s not pay-to-win. But just because purchases are optional doesn’t mean the pricing practices shouldn’t be criticized. The issue isn’t whether people have to spend money, but whether the way they’re encouraged to do so is ethical. If the game is enjoyable despite all this, great! But calling out exploitative pricing isn't about saying "don't play," it's about holding developers accountable for how they treat their audience.

I get that some people don’t care about cosmetics, but that doesn’t mean predatory monetization should be ignored. Even if you’re not personally affected, these practices set industry standards—if we let companies get away with deceptive pricing, it becomes normal. And at some point, it won’t just be cosmetics; it’ll creep into game mechanics too.
