Microtransactions (lemmy.world)

I don't know about you chaps but I absolutely detest the modern approach companies have with their franchises and games.

I remember you'd get the game on disc and that was it. Or maybe a expansion to go with it which improved it 100%

An example would be say the mortal kombat games, you used to be able to have all the characters or Unlock them. But now you gotta pay up to 100% the game if you want everything.

What rustles your jimmies lads?

Thank you!

One thing that kills me are the "its just cosmetics" fellas. While I agree that is is the least worst option for micro transactions but for most games the drip game is half the game. I want to look cool and I want those looks to represent I did something in game.
