As long as cosmetics can also drop as part of playing the game, I don't care if the shop's charging people $25 for a gear set, because I don't need to buy it.

Well by 'developers' I mean studios and publishers not individual employees. My question is why can some games seem to get by just fine and continue development without microtransactions? For example Project Zomboid has been in development for like ten years and has never asked for anything more than the sticker price, they just focus on selling more copies.
