Full subject line: "Every time a new shooter launches, I start a countdown until it becomes a clown show of brands and hideous skins"
It's not just shooters, of course. Between crossover skins like TMNT and butt-fugly shit like this in Street Fighter and then Mortal Kombat with all the non-MK DLC characters and the farting and other such inane crap, it's infecting fighting games, too (and those are just the two games that I even remotely know/care about).
Meanwhile, over in open world exploration game land, they have shit like this. I mean, in that last case, at least he still kind of looks like Spider-Man, and not like SpongeBob or something, but still.
Most (not all, but most) of this shit is just a subclass of fatuous DLC/microtransactions, of course.
