they aren’t sell out trying kill gamer’s critical thinking
not at all

Remember when that stuff was included in the game but you had to unlock it?

Remember when you use to buy a game and it was the whole game?

Remember when you put a cheat-code to change the look of your character?

Remember The Alamo?

Remember when buying one game was pretty much a $90 investment for just the base game that would usually be riddled with bugs and glitches?  Remember having to do the same thing a year or two later for 3 extra stages and 2 characters?
Remember when you had to buy another device to unlock new colors or changes to a character’s appearance, and hope that using it wouldn’t corrupt your game and make it unplayable?

Paying a dollar or less for a single character skin isn’t unheard of, and kind of works the same way as faceplates for phones and other devices.  It doesn’t change the game.  It doesn’t make it easier.  It’s purely aesthetic, and acts as bragging rights.  Don’t want to pay for a skin?  Don’t get it.  Find a skin that you really like, one that makes you want to play a character more?  Awesome!  It’s not free, but it doesn’t change the actual character.

Games are balanced and patched often and without cost to keep them running well, and to keep the developer from having to release a seperate game to answer some problems or squeeze in some new ideas (CAPCOM).  If you really want to go back a few generations to avoid having an option to add more to a game after its launch go ahead, but try not to complain about the games of yesteryear when nostalgia fades.
