Why don't games allow full color customization any more?
Because you idiots started paying for skins

Chose one, you colossal pleb.

Latest offender - Quake Champions. Literally pay for a simple recolor

Thanks doc.

Because Horse Armor showed that people were willing to pay for asinine shit, and so devs made it a habit to put unlockable shit behind paywalls.

I love this bit of revisionist history.
Horse armour was shat on by pretty much everyone, including IGN and other reviewers.
What really started it was the MannCo market in TF2, people paid through the nose for that shit and everyone followed suite soon after

Of course people thought it was dumb, but plenty still bought it.

It seems you were the pleb all along

And plebs still bought.
Everyone shat on paid mods. But the Fatman will bring them back this year. Because it doesn't matter how much people complain vocally when they vote with their wallet.

You're just embarrassing yourself.

No they didn't.
Horse armour sold sweet fuck all, especially in comparison to the other DLC's for Oblivion.

There's no numbers, but that implies it was pretty successful especially for just a bare-ass effort.

Wow you sure showed me

No problem. The point is that plenty of people still paid money for shit that was mostly cosmetic, contrary to what the most vocal people have said about it. Like what the previous anon said, people voting with their wallet is sometimes much more relevant than the apparent backlash.

Most importantly, even the people bitching about the Horse Armour still continued to buy other content for Oblivion. So even the bad press didn't harm anything.
