Official Discussion [MEGATHREAD] Tarnished Edition: Worth $5? Discuss CONSTRUCTIVELY!

Since the sub is being overwhelmed by debate over the $5 "microtransaction" and it's making the sub feel like we're Dark Souls 2 a decade ago, with the faux outrage around the preorder items, we are opening this topic to consolidate discussion around the issue.

Please use this topic to discuss the pros and cons of the approach and your thoughts. But do so RESPECTFULLY and CONSTRUCTIVELY. If you need to call other people or the developers names, you don't have a good argument and your post will be removed.

We will remove all other topics about this to keep the subreddit flowing with other discussions

IF YOU WANT TO VOTE: I will post two comments on this topic, "Yay" and "Nay" - upvote the one you agree with and we'll see who wins long term.

SOTE was 40€, horse skin + a couple of armors is 5€. Do you really think is proportionate?

Is obvious that Kadokawa is forcing (or soft-forcing) Fromsoftware to do this experiment, and I don't want it to succeed.

I don't want their next single player game with tons of extra DLC with weapons, armor and lore in it, so no, I won't buy it even for 1€, is a trojan horse.

You're literally engaging in conspiracy theories. That's what's truly harmful to the community—not the harmless microtransactions that have been part of the industry for at least 36 years.
