Micro Transactions Don't Belong in $60 games.

There's no justification for it. Even if I don't spend a dime myself doesn't mean it's not sick that I paid for this game and every expansion pass and still have items blocked off from me. It doesn't matter what items your selling. It doesn't matter how cheap they are. You're taking advantage of people and it's wrong. It's not a debate.

    Not aimed at thread creator. Supporting micro transactions in a game you paid full price for is basically telling the developers it's okay to -blam!- my wallet further by including economic models that were originally designed for free to play games to make money since there is no up front purchase. To look at it another way, games have become so popular since the release of last gen consoles that large game developers and publishers have more or less reached their max potential in audience for AAA games, unless economics from third world countries reach the same point as first world countries. What that means is they have been looking for more and more ways to offer you less for more. Usually by cutting costs or finding the best way to chop up their game to sell as dlc or micro transactions after release for maximum profits. The 60-80 dollars you spend on an AAA game is or was originally meant, to cover any costs For development and support. The 0 to 0 dollars you spend in free to play games is meant to cover nothing and micro transactions are meant to cover any costs for development and support. Destiny within its first month made back the initial investment of 500 million dollars. You mean since then, they haven't made more money from their original release plus from all 3 of their dlcs to cover any future development costs and upkeep? Micro transactions should hold no place in games you pay near to, or full price.
