| greenmedic88 said: I'm not sure if it was Skylanders or Nintendo that came up with the toys to life idea first, but yeah; it is arguably the most clever way of packaging DLC/microtransactions, at least the way it works in Disney Infinity seeing as how that's the only series I've experienced. $15 for DLC generally won't happen more than once or twice on a game that I'm really enjoying, but when that same DLC is a nicely sculpted figurine with an NFC chip in it, it's easy to keep picking up ones that you like. |
Skylanders Spyros Adventure launched in 2011, the first Amiibo was out in 2014, also Activision announced a good while ago that the franchise had passed $2billion in revenue for them. Great success financially for um.
I agree btw, I very rarely would buy dlc, but yeah... have over 100 Skylander figures on their own shelf.
