"We wanted more money."
Fin.
Things aren't even micro. 10 dollars is not a micro transaction
Sadly, they won't change the naming scheme as more naive people still buy in the "micro" aspect of the name.
When micro becomes macro
Companies have fell in love with the cash cow systems. Gone are the days when a triple A game was a set price. Season passes, DLC, microtransactions are nothing more than milking schemes. The game also has a DRM attached to it, which is just spyware.
“Even as a frequent spender,” they said, “lots of stuff simply isn’t worth the price [anymore].” Just made me facepalm. Remember when game modding was a thing. There is a reason why they do not support mods in many games now. Kudos to the few games that still do.
Their excuse was, “These new cosmetics are multi-core which means more options so more money”.
"We gave you a basic customization function 2 years after release and we want to monetize it."
