I mean Davenet was on the spot : " This isn't about you. This isn't about me. This isn't about anyone or anything other than the companies who try to find more and more ways to try an exploit people, especially the vulnerable to such predatory practices, and seeing how people are complacent to any of the previously mentioned practices to gauge how far they can go gradually. " Knowing if it does or does not affect your gaming experience wasn't the point, it's about the way compagnies are trying to get away with bullshit pratices. The inddiference some might feel towards this issue is what these compagnies actually wants since it gives them the "ok" to go even further. Are people already forgetting to what point we were last year ? Motherfricking SW Battlefront 2. |
Loot boxes were a different beast and actually involve gambling and it was clear from everyones complaints that the game design was built around encouraging it with super steep xp requirements.
Its not about me, for sure. I think some people will actually prefer to pay to skip elements of grinding and streamline their experience and see everything that is to be experience, no different from cosmetic purchases which can otherwise be unlocked in-game but people want to have right away. The minute that in-game purchases seem exploitive I will condemn them and often have, including day one DLC. But the mere existence of microtransactions does not make a crime in my opinion.
