It started with "It's just a silly horse armor DLC, just don't buy it!", continued with "It's just cosmetics bro, just don't get them!", then we got "The shop is fine though, you can get the currency ingame!" and got to "The timed battle pass is fine, you also get free stuff!". You can draw your own line for mtx, but slowly we're both approaching and crossing it if you accept anything before that.
The way I see things, "the least pressured to buy stuff" reads like "the least aggressive cancer". Sure, it could be worse, but like, you've still got cancer. There's still the ideal option of being healthy instead.
