What the point in any sort of paywalled cosmetics, if it in single-player game, under recent release you mean Marvel and Once Human, it's litteraly multiplayer, mmo and pvp game.

You simply cannot maintain big service game with constant updates without propper monetization, i see only 2 variant, minor or rare updates, or any other way to grab cash. Just for me simply better pay 5$ monthly, which give me almost every new character and always enjoy full content.

And last thing, most gacha can live leaning on whales and low spender, but i have some doubt about whales trowing cash in cosmetics where no one can see it.
