@sketchturner Hi, splatoon fan here. Uh, no. I would not be happy to pay for cosmetics and the way Splatoon works, cosmetics would be a competitive advange (gear system in splatoon) I really enjoy having a lot on how much can be spent on a game and splatoon is limited ($60 for the game, although free at certain times, and $20 for the dlc that added SUBSTANTIAL content). Free to play may get more players, but splatoon already has a fan base that is growing at a good rate. This would overall be a bad idea. FTP games get Players not Fans. Look at Fortnite, COD warzone, honestly, just about any battle royal. They require large player numbers and they have to have an easy barrier to entry. When I look in at these fanbases, I see endless complaints and people upset at the game, but with splatoon specifically, I see people enjoying the game for what it is; making art and enjoying all there is to enjoy. Cosmetics and FTP bread toxicity and an angry player base.
