Complex Gaming: These days, tons of hot girls consider themselves video game nerds. Whether they're simply addicted to Angry Birds or a pro sniper in online Call of Duty deathmatches, sexy women who know how to work a joystick get respect. Check out the 10 Hottest Celebrity Gamers to see what we mean.
Blizzard just made it possible for players to purchase the Trader’s Tender for real money! The decision has left the community spewing with rage.
Never had a problem with monetization for anything that's purely cosmetic. If you want to look extra cool so badly, you must like the game to a point where it's worth the money to you. If not, you can still grind to get it in wow's case, maybe a slow progress but having that option is always a plus.
Now the moment someting that gives an edge in the gameplay is purchaseable, I'll understand the rage.
Edit: Also, a bit more on the middle side of things: when rare transmogs that needed a big achievement were to be purchaseable, I would also understand the rage of people who worked hard and want to show that off.
Its funny how we have have come so far that people are comfortable saying playing the game to get something is a "nice plus" like you should be grateful they even allow it. Truly sad honestly...
It's just that I don't really care about (paid) cosmetics, especially in games like wow. And the only plus I meant with that is that you can atleast get it both ways, not just that it's entirely gated behind a paywall. But seriously why would you care so much about cosmetic options that don't mean anyting more than showing of some style or spending ability. Just like branded clothes, really don't care about brands, just give me quality.

Looks at Destiny 2 > I used to go into a store to find a game. Now I go into a game and find a store.
"Bungie reportedly expressed concerns over how engaging The Last of Us multiplayer project was"
Bungie at GDC "Beware of overdelivering, quality doesn't matter, a live service being fast is more important than quality"
meh
I remember that headline about Bungie and Factions. I’m not a Bungie guy, but I am a Factions guy. Can’t help but wonder if their GaaS input will be to my liking. 🤔
Uh... what is Skyrim doing here?
why do I not believe 90% of these
agreed, Felicia Day is the only one I believe.
Edit: woops meant to be reply to Summons75
Actually this list is pretty spot on. From interviews and other things i'v read most of these women do play games often and I think two built their own gaming rigs.
Megan Fox loves playing Halo last I heard.
IMO a gamer is not only a guy/girl that plays games, but someone that is interested in games, in the industry, events, releases, trailers, news, etc...
Everyone in the world has atleast played a game in their life, but how many of them know Zelda isn't the boy?
