If you are paying upfront for a game, then the game shouldn't have microtransactions at all. This is just an example of the AAA game industry taking a free-to-play model, seeing how much money it makes, and essentially warping it to their own business models. That's part of what he finds so detestable about it. He has nothing nice to say about loot boxes at all, because they are gacha grabs that prey on the same psychological tells that gambling does. --- Face it Cloud is a gaming icon and has appered in lots of games while mario has only appeared in 2 games sunshine and 64~xSlashbomBx <cite>Alucard188 posted [p:889001250] in New Jim St...
