when the glorified fake hats cost orders of magnitude more than a whole-ass game.

This is the exact reason I never bought anything when TF2 introduced this garbage to gaming. The hats, which were the most desirable cosmetics, were (and probably still are) more than it would cost to have the same exact hat made IRL.

I don't know where they come up with the prices for this crap. Even the first micro DLC to come about, Horse Armor for Oblivion, was extremely expensive given the content (2 different models and skins with no actual gameplay value for $5).

Horse armor was 100% above-board, relative to this abuse. It was new content. It was dumb, and solved a problem the devs themselves caused, but you paid for and received a digital purchase. That is never the same thing as paying so your character can say they have something.

If it's already on your computer - charging for it is probably a scam.
