I've hated how microtransactions are preventing me from getting games that I'd otherwise looked forward to and honestly look quite good. The truth is "microtransactions" are almost certainly here to stay; enough people will buy the games, and enough parents will cave to their child's begging and drop cash on the microtransactions as well.
In the end, the CEO is beholden to the shareholders, and the shareholders (justifiably) are only concerned with making money. The mobile market has proven that people are willing to spend a fortune a little at a time that they'd not pay 25% of upfront, and for that reason I can't imagine it's going anywhere.
