DeepL ← pretty usefull in that case, helps you with wording aswell and it’s AI based, so it translates by meaning and not just word by word.
But to get back on topic, yes, the real problem these days, not just in Darktide, is that a lot of gaming companies want to maximize revenue with really questionable pricing, especially in the GaaS space. It has simply degenerated into an extremely vile, exploitative scene that FatShark will not back away from. No one can tell me that this monetization model is in any way player-friendly or truly essential to the studio’s existence, it’s all about maximizing profits. I really hope that more studios go the way of Larian again and produce good games at fair prices without all these gacha, FOMO and whale milking mechanics.
This whole system is deliberately designed the way it is now, the topic is not new, on the contrary, recoloring was already a topic in Vermintide and often requested with endless suggestions on how to integrate it. Basically, everything that is written above this post has already been discussed here in the forum in the same or a similar way. But it’s obviously just not wanted by the developer.
It was even mentioned once by the developer that they are looking into the possibilities of such a system… but of course it came to nothing and was never mentioned again.
Instead, premium skins were introduced, there was hardly any obtainable content (EDIT: by “obtainable” I mean skins for which you actually have to do something explicitly, such as challenges, special maps, events, etc. and which you can’t just unlock for an in-game currency) that were really character outfits and, at the same time, I have to say that my motivation to play the game has fallen significantly. Unfortunately, I don’t think there’s a really good balance between purchasable and obtainable skins. And the whole thing has continued in Darktide and has even been taken to the extreme, both in terms of scope and price. 
I should really stop using this forum, I’ve just been upset about the same shitty corporate philosophy for years…
