Here we go again!

If you don't like me binging up microtransactions in full priced games, blame publishers for continually putting them in games they don't belong in

What sucks is that I really wanted this game. But I'm not fond of supporting that shit. So now I'm gonna wait on bargain bin type prices before I take a look. Might buy it used to ensure the dev doesn't get any money.

Gotta vote with your wallet guys.

The devs don't want this, the devs don't see a penny of any profit from microtransactions. It's publishers who are behind all of this and stand to be the ONLY people who benefit from microtransactions in games people paid upwards of 60 dollars for as anything spent on a game goes directly to the bank accounts of the suits who run publishers

WB and Totino's are working together to push microtransactions by putting codes for ingame currency for lootboxes on the boxes of Totino's products also they're going to have publisher produced propaganda about how great lootboxes are all over the box

dude was kind of annoying but so i only got so far into the video...but he said they'd put codes for in game currency in Totino's boxes...can you still earn in game currency naturally by playing the game? Don't really see the issue then...

That sounds like pretty typical cross promotion tbqh

Shut your fucking hole, we should NOT just be shrugging our shoulders as if this is something that is normal or OK. That it's ok to put pro microtransaction propaganda that CHILDREN will see and will then think, oh microtransactions in games people paid upwards of 60 dollars for perfectly fine and normal.

If you don't see what's wrong with this, you have to be a literal paid shill by publishers

Because they're putting pro microtransactions propaganda all over the boxes of Totino's products that uninformed consumers will take hook,line,and sinker just like the publishers want. That is what my main problem with this is.

they're giving away in game currency for a limited time...2K Sports does this with all of their games. they sell cards separately and also include codes in Mountain Dew and Doritos or whatever...its been that way for years and nothing has really changed because of it...all that in game currency can still be earned in game, or you can buy a bag of chips and get some free points as a prize....calm down.

It's obviously the latter because he still hasn't realized that no one takes anything he says or does seriously because of how unnecessarily confrontational and downright abusive he is to other users (notwithstanding the fake outrage and blatant lies he'll post from time to time).

I complained about that then, I'll complain about this now. It's not ok by any means

This is completely different though, never before have microtransactions that are tied directly to the game itself and not just some shit cosmetics been featured like this with propaganda

No I will NEVER calm down or silence myself to make avaricious publishers look good. It doesn't matter if you can earn the currency in game when that BS premium currency shouldn't exist within the game in the first place.

Why? Because I refuse to make excuses for greed driven multibillion dollar corporations crying poor and pretending that microtransactions were put in because they needed them and not wanted them

You literally had a topic deleted for posting that Bioware purposely left out "white" from the character skin colour wheel in Andromeda because they are "a bunch of sjws".

I know you won't listen because it pokes holes in your pathetically weak narrative, but that's not why it was deleted. I know you won't listen because you only want to shitpost and act smug

Do either of you have any proof my Bioware topic was modded for "telling lies" or do you only have baseless conjecture on your side?

You gotta play the race card with these people to make them understand. Lemme try

Ehem. This type of business strategy is used to further disenfranchise minorities, and make them take part in reckless behavior so they can buy more in game codes. Companies know that they cannot afford games as well as the pizza rolls, but they still get people hooked on the system by offering them a way to earn in game money to buy loot crates. They make it a very long and tedious grind so that people are more swayed to buy micro transactions to make it easier.

They pray on the fact that minority groups are less likely to have credit cards, or access to pre loaded game cash cards, so they offer the pizza rolls as an alternative that they can buy with cash or EBT. Then when they can no longer afford it, the big game companies hope they are hooked enough in their lottery system and pizza rolls, that they will do anything to get them. This them feeds into the stock that totinos and WB have in the prison system, ensuring them to be an unknowing customer for years to come.

In short, microtransactions are racist
