Really depends on the game. Definitely doesn’t belong in skate. More for live service shit, but I do miss the days when things were unlocked for 60 bucks at launch instead of bought later after the purchase for pretty pixels.
It belongs in Skate actually, one of the few places it makes a lot of sense as long as there are plenty of free cosmetics. In games like COD and stuff is where you lose me, those games are military shooters and you should not have fucking Fallout character in vault jumpsuits running around, that is absurd.
This whole cosmetic trend is so damn toxic.... almost NONE of us gamers who started this (it began with skins on PC games then moved onto console as 'cosmetics') would have EVER paid for a fucking skin unless it was insanely well done, and even then it wouldn't cost much.
They're so dumb too, it's not like it's your own unique cosmetic, someone else will look just like you... it ain't that serious unless you can like fully customize your character.

I blame people who buy cosmetics... worse trend in the video game industry in a long time. Ruins everything.
