Damn millennials and their micro transactions.

Nah, click bate, Though I'm curious to see if age (when you got involved in gaming) has a correlation with ones opinion on micro transactions and DLC. I'm in the 30+ bracket and I'm incredibly disheartened with the way the gaming industry has been going since online connectivity for console games became common place. While I can't deny there is a definite up side, I am finding that getting nickle and dimed for additional content has been slowly pushing me away from this hobby for the last generation or so. I have simply avoided purchasing product, two recent examples being The Evil Within and Alien Isolation, due to the amount of DLC slated for release after launch. I figure I'll just wait until the definitive edition is released. I grew up in the era where you bought a game, put in in you console and that was it. No update, micro transactions or DLC. I'm sure that's why I rarely have any interest DLC and have none whatsoever in micro transactions, especially in the regard to game currency. I should note here that I don't consider DLC synonymous with expansions. For example; Crota, House of Wolves and Taken King I considered to be expansions because they contain game play. DLC, as I am referring to it, consists of mainly of game play modifying items, such as weapons, equipment, skins, character classes, etc. (Just clarifying where I'm coming from on this.) Anyway, that's just my opinion and if those whose opinion differ ends up dictating industry practices, I guess I'll just have to get myself an other hobby. :) So, for the purpose of science. Whats your age bracket and are you fore or against DLC and micro transactions.
