    The article you linked for elder ring (a game with no micro-transactions) talked about re-using assets from that game.

    As in it was built from the ground up but reused in the game.

      It was a specific example to show how AAA games reuse assets, not mtx. A low hanging fruit of that could be like…any sports game.

      A similar example of good reuse could be EA and a specific Female Character Mesh they’ve had for awhile and they just keep reusing her. The photo example I found searching was Falck from BF 2042. Her hitbox and mesh is in Battlefront 2, as a First Order officer; and in Battlefield 5.

      I dont outright hate reuse of things here and there - it saves money and time.
