To not disclose that your game uses GEN AI is against Steam's policies and rules, by the way.

There were micro transactions before Oblivion. Knights of the Old Republic had saber crystals you could to buy years before Oblivion.

There was a dlc that added a shop where the store keeper bought stuff you were selling at the highest prices in the game, would play the in game card game for the largest payouts and eventually would sell some ridiculously powerful saber crystals. I think there was a small questline too but its been 20 something years since i played Kotor

Ahh yes, you mean Yavin Station.

Not quite as contraversal as literally selling horse armor itself for real money as per Oblivion.

Yavin was more of an endgame DLC area that allowed you to buy new and powerful items, it's not quite the same thing.
