I pretty much just assume "Free To Play" games are full of microtransactions, is that wrong?

E: to be clear, I don't think microtransactions are an inherently bad thing. In fact, if people want to make games where other people with more money front the costs of development, I'm all about it.

What I hate is being reminded every 5 minutes that it has garbage skins that I can pay IRL money for.

True, but there is nothing wrong with that really unless it's a multiplayer game where you get unfair advantages. It's hard to expect a f2p game to not have micro transactions.

That's so fucking stupid lmao. Crying about stuff that doesn't even do anything but make you look different.

I think you may have missed my initial reply where I stated specifically stated that I was not concerned about "stuff that makes you look different".
