I do not take any issue with the Atom Shop, or with paid cosmetics in general. Hell, I am a total shill for paid cosmetics. You put a cool car or a shiny object up in the store for a game, and I want it. However, and I feel this is big for this game, the "value" of the item you are buying should make some kind of sense. $2 for a car skin in Rocket League? Absolutely, that is worth $2! $5 for horse armor in Oblivion? Then, no, that was crazy. Now, okay, I can see it, but $5 is still kind of steep.
In Fallout 76, they are asking $14 for a set of pajamas. I want to know where that number came from. I want to speak to the guy at Bethesda that did market analysis, or the guy that wrote the Al Gore Rhythm, or whatever happened here, and I would like to know where they came up with the notion that pajamas are "worth" almost 1/4 the cost of the game, or that a paint job for power armor, at 1800 Atoms, is worth MORE than 1/4 the cost of the game. Those pajamas I referenced cost more in Atoms, real world dollar wise, than most entire DLC packs and expansions for games, including most DLC for Bethesda games. Where the hell did those costs come from, how is the "value" of a pair of digital pajamas $14? Someone thought that sounded correct and signed off on it.
What’s worse, is that they can’t change it now, the pricing structure is the pricing structure at this point. It’s just bad. Like, really bad. No item in the Atom store, at least right now, is "worth" more than 500 Atoms, either subjectively, or even objectively.
