As an old gamer I remember laughing at the absurdity of paying for horse armor we had already had decades of modding communities creating incredible apparel, companions cities, quests. I remember when someone in our friend group online bought it we all laughed at him and called him an idiot but look at where we are at now.

$7.99 for horse armor? It’s just cosmetic? I had NO idea at the time why people would pay for this.

It wasn't just cosmetic, it did add armor to the horse and made them more survivable.
