Microtransactions come with specific challenges. Specifically, you have to give the players a reason to pay them, and that's usually done by making the game purpously worse for those who don't pay.

Or the other trend these days, Wich is to remove content from the base game and sell it as dlc or just money-gate it even if it's on the base disk/release.

"these days" that's been going on for over a decade

Yeah, but some of us oldies still remember the before times when we just had 35 Sims 2 expansions.

I don't necessarily believe this to be universal. I've played plenty of games with cosmetic mtx that I can absolutely play without the desire or need to spend money.
