This just further proves that even if they go F2P eventually the game will struggle.
If you need to make all your money from cosmetics you need characters that people actually like and want to buy cosmetics for. And you need a better art team.

Unless they become good-looking with MTX.
This could make them actual money.
I would recommend this to the Fable devs as well. Keep the current main character, but allow players to exchange it with an attractive one for let's say $40. Easy money.

Is there any precedent for this actually working?
Generally with these games you have likeable characters with appealing designs that people are into....and then you sell them skins to make them look different or cooler. And people buy them because they are already into the character.
You don't have off putting characters that no one likes and then hope people want to give you even more money to make them look decent. You'd think League of Legends didn't spend the last 15 years showing everyone how to do it.

This game is so dead on arrival

Maybe the premium skins just changes the characters completely and turn em into OW characters?? xD

Makes sense.
What I suggested probably won't work in practice. However in the case of Fable it would work at least for me as the game is insanely beautiful, but is ruined by the repulsive mc.

Btw, I used Microsoft Translate to generate the previous sentence. So if they indeed log and evaluate all data that users enter, maybe they'll listen to me and exchange the main character.

Silly Sony, you need players if you're going to sell microtransactions

I don't have a vendetta against the game like some do here but those examples aren't inspiring in the slightest.
