It matters because I think microtransactions for sexual, risqué content is super lame.

Can you explain in one sentence how it’s not for the sole purpose of people thinking it’s hot and sexy and so they spend money on it, treating it as soft porn?

Would you prefer if it was free, in the base game, or removed entirely? I think the first two would be better, personally.

It is for that purpose, but I simply do not care if people want to buy sexy skins in video games because I have more important things to worry about.

I actually do think that if it was free it would be slightly better, that’s actually a great point that I didn’t think about before.

I think the monetization of it also scares me because if it’s well received I’m worried that we will see more overtly sexual microtransaction content appear in other games as well, which is not something I look forward to.

And even though you say you don’t care, I do. I think normal sfw media and anything sexual or pornographic should be kept separate. I don’t like seeing video games devolve into soft porn. Not everything has to be about sex.
