There is absolutely no reason whatsoeverbeyond greed why a Premium AAA game that has the gall to ask for $60 or $80 (or even $100 with their “Gold”/“Super Deluxe” Editions) UPFRONT should have ANY sort of microtransactions whatsoever; cosmetic or otherwise.
This is how you get trash like Ghost Recon: Breakpoint happening where literally every facet of the game is monetised beyond comprehension.
If Publishers want to do that sort of stuff, do it in a F2P game (ie. Apex Legends, Fortnite to name a few) or alternatively a mobile game.
