Insinuating it’s either what we currently have or it’s laying off employees isn’t any better, just makes it look like Fatshark isn’t confident that their cosmetic offerings are appealing enough to maintain sales and have to resort to cheap f2p mobile-game’esque tactics to squeeze every bit of income they can.
It’s been a slippery slope of egregious enshittification, but it doesn’t have to be the norm.
I assume they can run the numbers as well as us and if comes to maintaining people employment, lively hood and livable wages they have more interest than us arguing about sales tactics.
They already showed their true colours and priorities when they released a feature-incomplete game with a fully functioning cash shop. You’re the one that keeps making the absolute argument that it’s either only what we have now or they starve. I’m arguing they could open up revenue from people who are repulsed by the mobile game monetisation tactics if they provide a better selection and alternative avenues to directly purchase what they’re offering.
But hey, “I’m the customer, I’m right” and it does not matter if the company goes broke. 
You’re the one that making that argument.
It was a joke to what "you’ actually said, so it was you who made that argument.
It’s a joke because making it meant you didn’t read a single thing I wrote.
Such a shallow mind, but continue on your way while being unimpressive on replies to things you actually say.
I just bought the Ezekiel (Ogryn), and Sala Mandsala (Psyker) bundles. Am I doing it right? Am I fighting capitalism?

By all means, use your time as you see fit. But I’ll refer you to my last comment you apparently missed as the reason:
I have not once seen anyone ask for all cosmetics to be free. Maybe it has happened, but I have never seen it in any of this discourse. And yet, in the hundreds of posts, and in this very thread, where the FOMO and psychological tactics are railed against, these people false premise you with “how can they feed themselves/we get free content/nothing is free” and they always will. They will never engage you outside of their own made up terms.
You do you, though.
Again, please Google “disingenuous” to learn that Copper isn’t pretending to believe something in order to win an argument, he’s said quite plainly what he believes:
You can disagree, but a big part of his point is that “psychological” tactics in sales is just a core part of modern life. Discounts, prizes in cereal (do they still do this?), grocery store memberships, credit card points, etc. all of this stuff exists in the real world, and they’re all “FOMO.” You don’t want to miss a sale so you hit the store in time. You’ve probably bought some garbage cereal for a cool prize (I sure have!). You don’t want to miss discounts at the grocery store, so you allow them to track your every purchase through your membership. You don’t switch credits cards at every opportunity for another FOMO promotion because you’ve got those sweet points. Capitalism is the problem. Alas, it is reality.
And it’s simply the truth that some people believe what’s going on in DT (ie basically the industry standard) isn’t a horrible horrible crime. I just want to see a full catalog and for the FOMO element to be discounts, like how Hunt does their shop. The Aquilas don’t bother me, the prices don’t bother me, the recolors don’t bother me. No one is being disingenuous here. We just don’t agree.
i wouldn’t even wear the open-faced mask variant if it was FREE because it looks like cheeks - the one with the spikes looks like a gimp mask, but the splinter cell one is decent looking lol
i generally don’t like the look of most of the cosmetics in this game - like 95% of it. it’s like fs goes out of their way to make the ugliest stuff they can possibly think of, so i’m surprised so many people are seemingly spending so much to warrant them increasing the prices as well as stick to the same design philosophy.
on top of that, the female variants don’t even have unique models and most of the helmets and hoods make your character bald, so that just makes your already-fugly character that much worse(especially if it’s a female).
if this game had some really incredible cosmetics all the time, then i could understand why it’s both so expensive and why people are pissed about it. as it is now, it’s just a bunch of exceptionally ugly, overpriced stuff. like, i’m not spending $20+ on an outfit that just has some camo texture slapped on it or a some other lame, lazy, variation. how much time does it really take to change the skin on an already-completed model? not that long, it was a rhetorical question.
i don’t mind paying a bit extra every once in a while, but if you’re gonna be charging premium prices then you should at least be selling premium quality stuff.
