It feels rarer to see devs do that now that they can just put it in a store and charge you for it.

do kids even know about things unlocked through in-game accomplishments anymore?

A lot of games still do this. Are you only playing mobile trash?

You trying to say that kids wouldn't play Expedition 33?

Pretty dumb comment, tbh.

I'm currently replaying Hyrule Warriors and forgot how much of a pain it is unlocking every single costume and weapon. But it's admirable how much work and effort the devs put into the game, I forgot how much content is packed into it.

Star Wars Outlaws did a decent job at it imo. A lot of the unlockable cosmetics come from just exploring, and while it was mostly a lot of standard open world fare, it didn't really feel too boring or repetitive imo. And I like that you can unlock new clothing items with different bonuses *but* you can choose whichever piece you've unlocked as a cosmetic so you're not locked in to wearing something that you don't like the appearance of just for its perk.

No idea if that is right or not, so why assume?

Topic creator never replied to anyone. Usually a sign the topic was bait or whatever.

because even in games that sell them, they still always have unlockable normally obtained cosmetics, they just aren't "cool" like the ones in the store with cool effects

Unlocking stuff in World isn't exactly the most engaging (except the final cup).
