Why this score

Verified data
  • FOMO Events+6

    Time-limited content — mild fear-of-missing-out, cosmetic stakes.

  • Battle Pass+2

    A battle pass sells cosmetic items only — no gameplay advantage.

  • Microtransactions+2

    In-game purchases sells cosmetic items only — no gameplay advantage.

Points reflect severity, not just presence — cosmetic-only purchases score far lower than pay-for-power. Total: 10/100.
