I would argue that’s far more indirect and it’s not a 100% evil act to include microtransactions/skins.

Someone peeing in the pool, however gross, is uncaring not evil. I find it odd that rather than reconsider how you thought about it, you double down on accepting it.

I'm not sure if you're aware, but every pool you've ever been in has pee. Every pool. Most people don't even bother to wash their hands.

The smell people associate with a chlorine pool is actually the smell of the compound created by the chemical reaction of pool shock cleaner and human piss.

If it smells like classic pool? Its probably piss.
