Micro Transactions Don't Belong in $60 games.

There's no justification for it. Even if I don't spend a dime myself doesn't mean it's not sick that I paid for this game and every expansion pass and still have items blocked off from me. It doesn't matter what items your selling. It doesn't matter how cheap they are. You're taking advantage of people and it's wrong. It's not a debate.

  • There's no "taking advantage of people" here. If people want to spend their hard earned money on junk, it's their right to do so. Nobody is forcing them to buy anything, and what they buy has precisely 0 impact on their gameplay (short of laughing and clapping their hands when their character does a new dance of some kind). I hate microtransactions as much as the next person, but in this case I care significantly less because they aren't selling anything of consequence. As for them being in $60 games, have you ever played anything that EA has published in the last 4 years? It's there CONSTANTLY, and those purchases DO impact gameplay. It's why I haven't played an EA published sports game since NHL 2012. Totally ruined by being able to purchase player improving attributes. So long as they restrict their microtransactions to this kind of stuff, they can do it until Ragnarok for all I care. The minute they start selling Exotics or things like that, then there's a problem. There's a big difference between someone who can go out and buy Fate of All Fools and someone who can suddenly dance like Michael Flatley (admittedly, I would be tempted to buy that one).
