Oblivion's Horse Armor was probably the start of DLC though, maybe. At least with consoles?
Chailles
The availability of the item in-game doesn't matter. If anything it's availability in-game being "not that big of a deal" just showcases further the scumminess of it all being that purchasable item exists only to scam people by tricking them into thinking any modicum of money is worth a one use item.
And even then, if nobody complains about it, then they'll still continue on as they will. They'll do so regardless, of course, but at least you can say that there was pushback of some kind.
There's a mod right now that adds the item you need to change appearances to a vendor for like 10 gold, so I'm not really sure what cheats it's preventing exactly.
The problem is that those two things look exactly the same without the added context that you can't fit into an easy title and people won't read the details anyways.
You don't need that degree of anticheat for MTX.
I wonder if those privated games are still shared via Family sharing. I would expect it not to be shared, but I didn't see it specified.
Most of the people whinging about censorship
To further add on that, to complain about censorship for a mod that LITERALLY censors the game.
Wait a minute, hold up, this wasn't in the game unless you have that?
