There was a time, i was fine with microtransactions. I thought it was a cool addition to games. Things like new cosmetics, like skins etc. There was one item and you paid around 5€ for it and you could use it for all characters (im talking about guild wars 2 back in the day). It was only buy to play and i wanted to support arena net for the game. I had fun for years and only needed to buy it once and each new add on. The things (and prices) that happen now are INSANE. I mean...there is a crappy retexture or a simple color change for a power armor in FO76, where one dude spent (i dont know how long it takes exactly but i imagine under 60 minutes) and they want 18$ for it ??? Besides they would still make tons of money (probably even more because people would actually buy it) if it would cost 0.50$ or 1$...its a lazy money making method in general, because you spent X time for an item and it will sell for years...so it doesnt have to cost 1000$ or something, because the quantity makes the money...if there is an item for 1$ and each year it sells x million times, the 1$ is x million dollars per year...why would someone want 18$ for a piece of crap recolored item, which hurts every single player alot, instead of charging a tiny amount from each player, but they would actually BUY that stuff because it wouldnt be expensive and worth the buck -,- its so unbelievably dumb...i dont want to start talking about lootboxes...sorry for bad english...isnt my first language :)
