“Shoves MTX in your face like crazy” = skins in a STORE tab?
Yeah, don’t think I will continue the conversation.
Skins and such that cost as much as the game itself. The industry has gone crazy and consumers keep sucking it up.

One look at the menus says otherwise, but I'd rather not continue the conversation anyway.

We are certainly not playing the same game, then. All good.

You know what’s cool? Skins don’t impact gameplay at all! You don’t actually have to buy them!

Things being cosmetic does not justify the outlandish price. 20€ for a skin, emote and some trinkets is a stupid price.

(They forgot we used to change what our character looks like for free)

There are also free cosmetics that you can unlock through quests.

Exactly! A good example of consumer complacency!

I’ll agree with the other comment; ARC does not shove then in your face. The only time you see that stuff can be purchased is when you go to the customization menu. That’s it. You also get some of the premium currency for free.
I’m pretty confident theyll handle it well because in The Finals I’ve been playing for about ~2 years and have purchased most of the battle passes and some outfit stuff, all with putting no money into the game. This is a $40 game. I suspect it will be handled well.
You can purchase extra stuff, but you can’t say it’s shoved in your face. It definitely is not. It’s just a way to get extra money from whales. I think it’s probably not smart for a game to ship without some MTX at this point. You can make the game cheaper for most people by having the whales fund it. It’s practical.
