My issues with mods for dive, is everyone needs to mod. Would be great if dice where not mods but like a collectable. I will go even further, Larian missed a business opportunity. If they sold dice for like $1 for a new die or $3 for a set of 5 I think a lot of people would buy them. These should be super easy to create and Larian could have sourced some extra income with no harm to the customer base.
I know some people will now go nuts about microtransactions, but this is the type of Microtransaction I do not mind. It has ZERO impact on the game, is 100% purely cosmetic and if the price stayed cheap I am okay with that.
I think that you are right about them making money off of it, but I think that they would lose a great deal of respect too. At the moment they have a large built in group of "immediate buy" for their next early access, but microtransactions might move the needle on that.
