'''Due respect, but no, loads of people do care when the big companies do microtransactions, and no, the fact that big corporations do it does not make it okay. '''

Yes, I know people do complain when there are microtransactions, but you don't really hear them complained as much as smaller games, unless of course, none of the games I play complain about them but others do so back. And I'm not saying that it makes it okay, I'm just saying it's kind of hard to argue that doing so is "bad" when you have others doing the same thing with almost nothing back at them.

'''I don't mind skins. Nobody in this stack is complaining about them, and acting like we're getting on their case for selling cosmetic items at all is, at best, missing the point.'''

I never agrued about skins? I said and I quote "Considering that the only things that are TP only are cosmetics that don't effect the gameplay​" and I'm not saying that you're on their case for selling cosmetics, I'm saying that we're arguing about things that rarely effects gameplay.

'''The problem is that these single-use items each, individually, cost 50 town points. For reference, the Steam version of the game comes with 1000 town points. If, for some reason, you spent those on nothing else--just taunts--you'd get 20 of them. '''

Correction: 200 taunts. Which... why would you ever need 200 taunts? Eh, nevermind.

Yes, they are single use but they are cheap, and they once again, don't effect gameplay. They might even change it in the future, because they do listen to the communities opinion. (Example: Arsonist buff, Spy nerf)

'''The devs have also released a paid expansion, now, called Coven. I bought that, because I enjoy the game, but it makes claims that it's free to play ring sort of hollow in my ears. If microtransactions are meant to support the developers, why are they releasing paid content? Especially since the way they're doing it splits the community in a massive way? '''

​Allow me to sum up a report from the developers. Basically, the reason why they made the DLC paided instead of free is due to the fact it lowers down rule breakers. If somebody wanted to cheat via multiaccounting in the coven game mode, they would have to pay $10X (X being the number of accounts), then, once reported, they would get all their accounts banned in one swoop, removing those players. And also makes it so Coven buyers have to not break the rules, unless they want to lose some pocket cash. It may split the community, but it splits it in a way that makes the players that ENJOY the game don't have to suffer with the trolls.

'''Not going to call them shady. Certainly they're not on the scale of Microsoft or Warner Brothers or, God help us, Konami. But acting like the fact that they're small means that they're immune to criticism is not cool. '''

​I'm not saying they are immune to criticism, if you look around, you can see me agreeing that most of the coven roles are rehashes of others and that the only good role is the pirate. Just take one look at the ambusher role to see how much I disapprove of the role.
