Do you really believe money from microtransactions goes to the developer and not the publisher? I would sooner believe in a unicorn than that.

In my comment I attempted to point out that yes the profit from micro transactions never really goes to the artists and developers, but if it did in theory I would actually be really supportive of artist run cosmetic stores for multiplayer competitive games.

I want 3D modeling artists to be valued, and competitive multiplayer games providing a canvas in which artists can continually express themselves and create outfits/skins for players and items in game is an incredible opportunity to reaffirm the value of the labor of 3D modeling artists.

The opportunity is currently totally captured and subverted by shitty corporate control, but in theory it is still there.

For singleplayer games, no horse armor crap is lame, I just want developers working on expansion content.
