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.

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. 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.

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?

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.
