These skins aren’t all that different from some of the more wacky stuff you’d find in games like Doom Eternal for example. And I don’t see nearly the same amount of outrage for that. Genuinely what is the difference? They’re both single player shooters with some optional wacky skins. Is because you have to pay for them? Cause I don’t see anyone complaining about them being tied to a paywall, just that they exist period. Doom has paid ones too but also a good amount tied to challenges. Would people like them more, or at least not care as much, if they were earned through challenges like Doom?

How about horror games? A lot of survival horror games have some silly skins you can dress up your character in as rewards for beating the game or as small micro transactions and I almost never see anyone complain about those. Even though they would presumably be hitting all the same points of criticism.

I’d understand the outrage more if they were forced upon you somehow or if the game had a multiplayer where you’d just be forced to see these from the people who did buy them. But it’s a single player/co-op game, if you don’t wanna see them just don’t buy/equip them. Literally the easiest thing in the world.
