are these the worst microtransactions of all time..?

[@TheeJasonReyes]

The reason gaming "sucks" now is because gaming as a whole is now taken seriously to the point where major investors have the final word on games,not those who actually play them. Back when games were kinda a niche hobby? well its now a lucatrive "hobby" for companies to milk and have the content we actually want behind a paywall.

[@citizen-7xl5]

Mostly true but there is ways around it: if you do your research you can find some really good indie games. the other option is rather than going AAA studio is to go AA since they’re normally from smaller studios they have a lot more freedom and aren’t seen as the big money maker in the stable so are allowed to do good stuff. Outside of that we’re getting a lot of remastered collections like the capcom fighting,brawler and marvel bundles, tomb raider collection, super Mario bundle (unfortunately now probably hard to get at a reasonable price due to it timed release window) and bioshock collections to name a few so we can always head back to our favourites.

[@kamurotetsu4860]

If you think "gamers" had the final word decades ago, I have a bridge to sell you.

Throw people who put predatory systems in games to exploit gambling addicts and rich kids in prison. Put the gambling addicts in a reeducation camp.

As a Destiny 2 addict, let me help you understand why the dungeon keys are not include in the big bundle. Before The Witch Queen, dungeons were included as part of the DLC, for example the Shattered Throne dungeon came with the Foresaken (nowadays Forsaken pack) DLC, with the exception being the Beyond Light DLC (nowadays Beyond Light pack). Witch Queen did not feature a dungeon in the DLC purchase, and Bungie decided that they would create two dungeons based on the season they would release in and put it behind a "dungeon key". The problem is that Bungie are greedy wankers and put these dungeon keys in the in-game store, usually used for cosmetics and season passes, instead of the device store. They did this a second time for Lightfall, and will do it again. On one hand, by moving to another decice I would not need to buy the keys a second time unlike other DLC. On the other hand, they will never go on discount.

I recently got into playing Ghost Recon Wildlands and it's so lame that the vehicles in-game are tied to loot boxes. Cosmetics are as well but that seems less egregious even though without loot boxes all of that content would be earnable in-game via progression. I was lucky enough to get the rocket helicopter in the lootboxes that were included when I bought the game on steam but it's SUPER lame that there's no other way to unlock vehicles other than spending real money and gambling on loot boxes.

We gave them an inch, and they took miles and miles.

I know it’s not too popular but I’ll always miss how the Xbox 360/PS3 games did DLC like all the cods and Battlefields, red dead, etc

Games went from how "state of the art" can I make this to How much can we rob from each individual now that we've perfected the dopamine hit and turned gamers into literal addicts

I remember Mass Effect 3s Micro-transactions, they were only present in the Cooperative Multiplayer side from my knowledge and they were used to acquire Characters and Weapons, and you weren't Guaranteed a character or actual good weapon per roll. Like I've played Gacha games like Genshin Impact or Wuthering Waves, but the Gacha system of guaranteeing a 4 star per 10 pull was much better than whatever ME3 had.
