The game was great before they added microtransactions. How is the game any worse now than it was before?

People love to kick up a fuss about something that really doesn't matter at all.

Because before, it didn't have predatory monetization tactics. Because any game with microtransactions is designed to make you want them, meaning it has mechanics that are designed to make the microtransactions fun, meaning the mechanics are designed to make the game less fun without them, meaning that it could be better. As far as I'm concerned, the original version is superior now.

If you don't purchase microtransactions the games exactly the same now as it was at launch when it didn't have them and everyone loved it. It's a great game. The existence of these microtransactions doesn't affect that. The game hasn't changed. In fact it's only gotten better with the addition of more characters, tracks and costumes for free.

If someone doesn't have the restraint to avoid purchasing coins that's there problem. When they do something "predatory" like lower the amount of coins you earn or increase the prices of items to push people to microtransactions then I'll bitch and moan. But for now I'll continue to have fun with a great game and leave the rest to everyone else.

Everything is earnable for free, at the same rate now as it was at launch.
