Seeing this just makes me appreciate the era of gaming I grew up in. I honestly feel bad for these kids nowadays; not only has micro transactions ruined gaming but gaming companies have a complete monopoly over sports like football and basketball. Its sad for this generation of gamers

Yea I remember when games was 40$ what a time had a lot of great games

[@Dub9Eli]

@@Razzlekhan-t4q It’s difficult for them to understand because they’re accustomed to loot boxes and season passes in their games. Someone born prior to the late 2000s can tell these kids about how gaming was before the massive wave of micro transactions and how not buying games can stop it, but when micro transactions have been normal to a group of gamers then what is there to complain about from their perspective. It’s a lose/lose situation until laws gets passed stopping this.

[@Razzlekhan-t4q]

@@Dub9Eli sucks it's gotten to this point. I sound old asf, but back in my day you went to the gamestop. Fished around for a pre-owned game in that bin. Sometimes you got a dud or found a gem. I'm only 24 and it's crazy how different it is for younger gamers. I still remember going to Gamestop and having to be told what DLC was. I remember saying "that's dumb why don't they just put it in the game." LOL times have changed for the worst

Let me drop this gold nugget. I believe that EA and 2k are in agreements with each other. Let me elaborate. I think they agreed to let 2k control the basketball market and EA can have the football and soccer market. This way there is no competition and theses companies can monopolize there community without worry. If you want to play either sport, you have only one option to choose from. Just imagine that you love hamburgers, and there was only one burger joint in the entire world., just think about how much they would charge you for a basic burger because there is no competition.
