are you a true gamer?

We must be playing different games because I cannot remember when I have purchased any DLC or Microtransactions.  I also cannot remember any specific game I have purchase where I felt I needed to purchase those items in order to gain the fun I wanted from a game.  Could it be that this feeling of having to purchase the Microtransactions or DLC is purely your own view that you have to have it instead of actually being a condition to enjoy a game.

Good for you, but you do know that you're not the only person on the planet, right? Microtransactions are in games to be bought and every single game that contains them will be altered to make it more likely for people to buy them. Which means every game will be made deliberately worse for the sake of selling them. It's no surprise that the most critically acclaimed games don't have them. Cool if you love to play games that could be more fun but have been made deliberately worse, but I don't.

That's not even going into how they're exploiting and ruining vulnerable and unsuspecting people, but I guess that's just those people's fault for not being as super smart and mentally stable as you are.

With your own statement do you know you are not the only person on the planet.  You make your argument as if its a fact not stating that its your belief or opinion.  I am not stating that my opinion is the end all for everyone, I am saying I do not see it the same as you and I do not see Microtransactions as something I either need or even purchase.  

You say the games have been made worse by having microtransactions but in reality all you are saying is that in your opinion they are worst FOR YOU.  Maybe you should preach what you say and understand that not everyone will agree with your opinion since it appears to be more personal then an actual fact.
