Maybe if it actually worked that way, but i think in most cases it's just the publisher going for a cash grab and will not support the devs. If anything it takes away support from good content and is put towards mtx content instead and now you have minimal effort gameplay and a flood of unwanted mtx content making it harder to get the thing you want and other ways of forcing you to pay since playing is becoming to unreasonable of a way to acquire it

    It definitely depends. You need to keep people engaged, so a lot of the time there's still development on good content. But the good content that doesn't fit in the MTX scope is cut.

    And I mentioned the flood of bad cosmetics. Although I think fluffing the cosmetics is more about artificially extending replay value for grinders and giving deep purchase incentives for whales. In my experience, the purchase incentives are terrible (expensive) compared to just playing. Then again, I don't buy MTX. So if I'm not advancing without paying, I'm likely to just quit.
