Cosmetic Items vs Non-Cosmetic Items

The Microtransaction Investigation The Microtransaction Investigation - Useless Items

The cost of cosmetic items compared to the cost of non-cosmetic items

Something that does nothing, on average, costs £1 more than something that does something. It seems that we’re more willing to pay more for a hat than a gun, a jacket than a sword, and some shoes than a health potion.

At least, that's what the developers think.

The ABCs of DLC - TF2 has 136 total hats and badges for sale, which come to a total cost of £496.14.
