ShotgunSilencer 11/14/17 9:51:28 AM #13:	As long as its not pay to win stuff, especially in multiplayer games, then Im ok with it. Also if the game has a system where you can earn the extra stuff through gameplay, thats even better. I feel like Overwatch is a great example. The stuff you can buy is cosmetic, doesnt affect gameplay, and can be earned within the game without spending a single dollar. --- Big Blue! <cite>ShotgunSilencer posted [p:890365218] in Microtrans...
