without threatening games studios or requiring that capitalism collapses first, what are methods you would use to fix these dumb multiplayer games

because unfortunately i think these guys want skins and progression systems now bleayyeaakkck

i think we gotta trick em into thinking they've got skins. my idea is that you get to keep your skins but only until you die, and then it turns into a puff of greasy smoke and you go back to looking like your friend Leonard dressed in lazertag gear. make 'em spend in-game currencies that aren't tied to real world dollars and i think we have essentially a Skins Methadone Clinic

what are your ideas on how we solve this disGUSTING state of multiplayer games

    Monster Hunter

    Armored Core 6, and for that matter all of the Fromsoft Soulslikes

    No Man's Sky

    uhh The two recent Zeldas, although they also do amiibo integration

    For that matter Super Mario Oddysey

    And the Pokemon series, although character customization peaked in Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon back in 2017

    Palworld although I'm not clear if that game's outfits are unlocked or if they're all available at the start

    I'm trying to think of something along the lines of Halo 3 but I'm coming up short.

        I was just thinking, "games with unlockable cosmetics that you don't have to pay real money for"
