Why this score

Estimated
  • FOMO Events+6

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

  • Microtransactions+2

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

  • Paid DLC+1

    1 paid add-on beyond the base game.

Points reflect severity, not just presence — cosmetic-only purchases score far lower than pay-for-power. Total: 9/100. This game was scored from its Steam store listing, so its mechanics are an estimate. How scoring works →
