You know micro trans 8n Fifa etc are completely optional. Marketing deals with exclusive content are pretty bad though. But you gotta hand it to Nintendo locking on disc content with Amiibo isn't all that great either.

What about not having micro trans at all if it's "optional"?, we've managed that for years and years. Yeah it sucks that Nintendo have done this, I remember when Capcom has their scenario with "disc locked content" when we thought it meant "Downloadable content". 

I don't do microtransactions and I think they are pathetic. But there is a difference between paying for something on disc you can unlock with grinding and having to buy a cheap ugly plastic toy to unlock on disc content that is otherwise not available. I rather see microtransactions leave the industry, but as long as they are completely optional I think that practice is not as bad as the current use of Amiibo.
