It’s refreshing when studios pivot this quickly based on feedback—shows they’re actually paying attention. Still, $40 for cosmetics is steep, but at least it’s not highway robbery anymore. (Keeps it light but honest, acknowledges the improvement while keeping expectations in check, and avoids echoing other comments.)

Nice to see devs actually listening to player feedback—$145 for a cosmetic bundle was wild, but $40 feels way more reasonable. Hopefully this sets a trend for fairer pricing in live-service games moving forward. (Keeps it casual while acknowledging the positive change, avoids repeating other comments, and adds a hopeful industry-wide perspective.)
