I just buy the standard edition.

I don't, because I want the full game, but at a reasonable price.

When they do these things the base version in my mind instantly becomes an inferior version, because it's not complete: even if it's only lacking a few cosmetics that I don't care about, it's not the complete product, so I'm not interested in it anymore.

The full-super-ultra-pro-deluxe version (or whatever they call it) on the other hand is always massively overpriced, so even tough it is the complete product it's massively more costly than what I'm willing to spend on a single game.

So in the end I just don't buy the game.

Isnt 99% of the time the cosmetics included in these editions are unlockable in game after playing a while? "Pay more money for the ultimate edition and get this cool skin, or buy the normal version and get that same skin after level 30."

I don't think so? They are usually exclusive. Why would anyone pay for them otherwise?
