For the sake of conversation, what's your opinion on offering the same cosmetic skin for real money if you missed out on the limited time frame?

I'm definitely not a fan of micro transactions overall but I'm generally ok with purely cosmetic ones, within reason. I'm also not a fan of the whole FOMO "I have to have time every day to play a game I enjoy or else I won't get the fun stuff" bullshit.

If for whatever reason you missed out on some skin or some other purely cosmetic thing should you be able to spend like $1 to get it? This helps financially support the game and doesn't affect overall gameplay, just personal enjoyment.

I get where you’re coming from. And I agree that most cosmetic content should be available in the store even if you missed the season.

However, it’s okay for some content to be exclusive to the season or event or whatever. Given that the defining feature of exclusive content is that it’s … exclusive … those items are not coming back. And that’s okay.

People need to get over their FOMO. It’s okay to not have everything. You’ll survive.

Personally, my opinion is that I don't like when other people can force their cosmetics—whether purchased or unlocked—on me. I really like the approach the Age of Empires franchise has taken thus far, where you can unlock or buy profile pictures and other out-of-game cosmetics, or you can unlock mods which effectively are cosmetics, and affect only how the unit appears on your client, still looking like the regular unit for others.
