You're talking out of your ass. AAA games have gotten better. Costs for AAA games have only risen because you're cherry-picking what a AAA game means. Competitive forces are what cause the top game companies to invest more into their product.<br><br>Here's the problem with AAA games. People don't want to be nagged. They don't like salespeople nagging them. When you go in a store you get this: "Do you need any help sir?" "NO. GET OUT OF MY FACE and let me shop." That's the problem with microtransactions. You're making the game less fun by constantly nagging people for more money.<br><br>Online games used to charge $10-$15/mo and people paid it because it was worth it. Now, the multiplayer portion of games are "FREE" and you get nagged and swindled all day long while you're playing. NOT FUN. That's why the AAA games industry is sagging.<br><br>I have a $500 console, a $150 controller, cable internet that costs upwards of $50/mo and a $3K OLED bigscreen. Of course I can afford to pay for games. I just don't want to be tricked and swindled and conned out of my money while I'm doing it. That's the bullshit part.<br><br>I'm not paying a dime for "GOLD BARS".
