Horse Armor
Hey, I remember that shit show.
18 years
Aaand I'm getting old... :/
- It was a simpler time.
  Now charging real money for boosts and cosmetics for paid AAA single player games has been normalized:

As soon as the DLC released, for a now-tiny sum of 200 Microsoft Points ($2.50/£1.50), gamers revolted against the studio.
These people are crazy if they think that is a tiny amount of money for a single item purely cosmetic DLC in a single-player game. That is a lot of money now and was a lot of money back then for that little value.
- It's tiny in comparison to cosmetic transactions nowadays. Still ridiculous, then as now
  
  What are skins going for now in games like Fortnite, R6, or CS:GO? Aren't some going for as much as a new game? More?
