MODERATORS
Fuck everyone who bought this shit and enabled this.
Agreed. I blame the consumers more than the companies.
I don't even mind microtransactions, but microtransactions DO NOT EXIST
$10 for a skin is not a MICRO transactions, that's just a transaction.
The entire game costs $60 but ONE skin out of the thirty that already available or whatever is somehow $10? Why do people pay that? Why would they ever bother making a new game when they can design 6 new skins instead?
The money isint micro, the value of what you’re getting is
Because people are dumb and have no impulse control. Companies exploit that.
It is "micro" because an idiot buys a single non-significant asset in a game made up out of a myriad of assets. Therefore: micro.
I blame both. And capitalism.
