The PES 2015 Microtransactions Saga

You could be forgiven for thinking that gaming used to be so much simpler. For example, if you go back 10 years ago, the thinking man’s football game was PES 5 rather than the FIFA franchise many thought was just a shameless annual cash-in.

Sure PES has never been the prettiest of games and even though they struggled to compete with a lack of licenses, meaning players had names such as Roberto Larcos (Roberto Carlos) and Van Moostelroom (Van Nistelrooy) the majority of football fans were very forgiving because they preferred the ball physics and gameplay.
