The elephant in the room tho is personal accountability. It’s easy (albeit basic) to blame the big, bad corpo, but microtransactions wouldn’t be where they are if gamers didn’t spend money on them. As it stands the MTs usually make more than the game. Publishers know raising game prices will cause backlash, so they do MTs to compensate. But the adult conversation is consumers determine the success of products with their wallets. So if MTs are a huge thing, it’s because we as consumers told them we like them by giving them a lot of money for them. So if you don’t want them to be a thing, convince your fellow gamers to stop buying them and expect that games will be decently more expensive. You all can disagree all you want, but reality is a bitch, and eventually you have to live in it.

Trying to convince people is the least realistic thing. If we are trying to be adults, actual action is what changes things not "convincing campaigns" on platforms owned by the people 'you' are going against. It's madness and idealistic.

There never was, the only time I paid for a microtransaction was on Blacklight Retribution (PS4) and it was because I enjoyed the game a lot so I felt the devs should get something for all that entertainment (€5 "membership")

-Foxtrot4h ago

The devs wouldn’t get that though, that shit goes straight to the higher ups who do f*** all let’s be honest.

Probably, but I wasn't as cynical back then and €5 wasn't a big ask to get the guns with grinding instead of renting them, and the game was good (still is on the PS5/4)

I couldn’t believe what Blizzard charged for horse armor and cosmetics in Diablo 4…

I remember back in the day when a season pass was $15 and you got everything included in it. Now, I see them at $60 and you still don’t get everything.

Shane Kim3h ago

As soon as gaming wasn't deemed nerdy anymore, and reached the casuals this happened. We're smart, but casuals play mobile games and other stuff, and don't really have anything to compare. They think gaming is supposed to be like this and pay for in game purchases.

I thought it was handled perfectly in helldivers 2. I’m not into the game very much but the way the handle rewards abs the season pass and all that should be the benchmark

People are junkies. They could raise the price to $100 for the standard version and still heavily monetize the game and people will still buy it and games writers will be quiet about it.

The pricing of Mt's are awful and overpriced but the biggest issue for me is the so little that they add to games, usually cosmetics, time savers and whatnot. I guess that Mt's should be only for dlc like expansion packs or more side missions and quests, but even this should be in the final product anyway...

Anymore? This white knighting is really tardy and moot. Microtransaction was a term reserved for mobile app (and early PC) market commerce. You know, 99 cent type stuff? (features, unlocks, add free etc). PC and Consoles adopted this as a standard and negated the terminology from the start in order to cash in on it is much as possible (multi-transactional, becuase as a major for-profit biz {based on peformance} they'd be crazy not too), so why u supprised? This is only been ureasonable for YEARS now. The solution is so simple. Don't buy it and when needed (sites like exputer), actually trash the bad content, based on the development costs for the content in REAL applicable indepth reviews, but that would require investigation and research, stuff exptuer only has opinions about.

Ninver3m ago(Edited 1m ago)

I'm proud to say I've never in my entire gaming life spent a dime on dlc. And if it's announced before the games release I wait to buy it cheap! In other words f@k you for trying to nickel and dime gamers.

The industry model and standards and who's in place to approve/disapprove have changed ^ what Keoken is feeling now is much like the Mobile burst 15 years ago. Expect more to come out of your own finances. Investors are treating games like movies and now (thank$ a lot for involving yourself hollywood) only the big (and money blind) investors get involved, effectively killing a lot of content that would come out with proper non-gate-kept and/or with incentivized funding.

Sorry but i couldn't care less, Deliver us Mars was as woke game as they come, climate change disaster, all female cast plus only a comic relief indian guy (it takes only 5 minutes into the game for the main female character to say how smart she is compared to the guy), evil white guys, ugly females, then add generic gameplay and puzzles (how many times do you have to cut things with a laser for gods sake), you can't change anything in how the events develop so 0 agency in the story, sub par graphics even while using UE4. So well, go woke go broke, that's how it works.

That stinks but with a 68 average critic rating on their games probably made it difficult for people to invest considering there is a bloat of games getting made these days.
