Microtransaction hell games
| Just look at Star Wars Gamblefront 2.
| Archeage was the biggest slotmachine gambling waste of money. Well i say waste but i did enjoy my 1 year of playing daily..however i spend atleast 2500 euro.

Though i must admit after this experiance i know that i never get addicted to gambling in online games anymore
| The type of mobile that some kind of town building.
You upgrade building in your town to get stronger, but upgrading takes resources and time. At first it's make sense; get 100~1000 resources + wait for 10 mins. But later it becomes millions of resources and days of waiting, except if you throw money at it.
It has PVP too, if you have a whale next to you, good luck, you'll get raided daily.
High level PVP is basically 2 players throwing their google play funds to thin air.
| I don't really understand why people are so outspoken against micro transactions. Hear me out.
Companies are only interested in money, and they have determined that micro transactions rake in a ton of money, which is why they add them to games. What they're doing isn't "evil", it's just how companies work.
The best way to combat this is to just not buy games with micro transactions.
| Deus Ex Mankind Divided, lol. It's a singleplayer game with fucking microtransactions. o.O They absolutely ruined the series. :c
| >>150579 If we treat it as "just how companies work" then your fav franchises will force/adapt micro in your fav games too.
When that happen, there's no "just don't buy it" route anymore.
Remember DLC and season pass? People weren't really up in arms about them, and now almost every games have DLC, some are day one (which is just cut content at that point). The future will be like that to with micro if you ignore them.

While i agree the microtransactions were stupid as fuck, I would still recommend getting the game on sale. I played it all the way through several times without any DLC and it was just as good as the previous installment. It's not worth missing out on such a great game for the studio's failings.
| I feel like the reason why "microtransactions" is becoming such a hot topic is because of EA's bullshit.
That has a been a thing in video games for over a decade. Primarily for F2P video games because hey, that's how those games remained free to play. By the donations of player who wished to purchase content in game.
EA made a terrible mistake by adding this old feature to a buy-to-play game. That's dirty.
| Other than that, I really don't care if a game has a cash shop or not. So long as it doesn't severely destroy the game in terms of balancing.
Some games I was rekt by cash whores.
Other games, cash whores were rekt by me (I don't purchase in-game items).
Since this is such an old topic, it's boring. People treat this as the most evil thing in gaming. Some times it is genuine in how some games remain open to the community for free.
| I don't particularly find it evil, I play MMOs and they all have them. I'm less interested in the debate over ethics for it and more interested in games that have so many microtransactions that they're almost totally broken/impossible to play without them. I'm not asking if it's evil or making a statement, just wanting some names for games that are absolutely horrible about it out of curiosity, or hear other people's horror stories with particularly bad instances.
| >>150457 >>150458 and>>150553 all had the right idea with this thread. I find big pay to play games forcing microtransactions particularly juicy.
It's an idle curiosity for microtransaction horror stories, not a thread stating every game with any microtransaction at all is Satan itself.
| >>151203 it's just one dude that question people's stance on microtransactions lol. I don't think you really need to clarify

| I'm just really curious. Are there any games that you have all played that have HORRIBLE microtransactions absolutely everywhere? Can be MMOS, mobile games, anything. Just share your most bullshit microtransaction-laden experiences.
