“It’s just small DLC” and “but they all do it!!” aren’t adequate defenses for locking content behind purchases of crap outside of the game. And it doesn’t have to be toys, publishers have made deals to put that crap in other shit too. It’s all crappy, but the content in Amiibos is worse, more prevalent, and locked behind something Nintendo controls via artificial supply and demand, etc. If Diablo IV has content locked behind buying a bag of shitty pizza rolls, I don’t have to support it, but at least I can go to literally any grocery store and buy it. Amiibos are not the same thing.
Pay online, I mean everyone does it right? Does that defense also apply here? I’m guessing not.
