Never thought or felt that way. The best things to grab in life do not cost money. They are also the only things truly worth keeping. Things that endure the test of time and last far beyond anything money can buy.
They talked about this at the Official Sea of Thieves X018 Panel. Check out the youtube channel, twitter and reddit for more information. not everything gets announced on this Website.
If Rare does not have an on-going income stream, then you can expect updates to the game to end. There must be a way for them to receive ongoing real world money beyond people just buying the game ( as most people that want it, have it ). That is why they either do things like pets via microtransactions, or eventually just shut down further updates to the game. Rare is not a charity, they are a business. That is why things like the Sea of Thieves Shop, and in game items available in that way, along with things like Pets via microtransactions are inevitable, either that or start charging for game updates.
@x-crowheart-x I recall back before the game launched one of the ideas tossed around for the microtransaction shop would be a shop that would use a currency that could either be bought or earned in game and used for cosmetics. Given how doubloons are in game and are earnable in game, perhaps they would become said currency. Now yes, some could argue isn't it unfair that some spend their cash to just buy an events items rather than doing commendations, but it is their money after all. Given how the game's items are just cosmetic at the end of the day, i'd be completely fine with this.
