Same argument every time. I don't give a shit, nor will I ever give a shit, if the only micro transactions are skins. It does not affect gameplay, it only adds a little way to customize for the enthusiasts. That's fine, and has been a regular Tekken feature since PS3. Why people care so much is beyond me.
Full priced game adding microtransactions cosmetic or not will always be total bullshit.
"As long as it's only cosmetics" has moved the goalposts from where we used to be on the matter. I completely agree it's bullshit.
The Tales Of series has been bullshit. Used to be fun collecting new costumes from hidden events and side quests. Now half of the interesting costumes are either DLC or different edition bonuses which you can later purchase as DLC.
