I'm not saying it's what I want, I'm just saying I think there are worse things. And lots of publishers are pushing a lot of these things that I think are worse, and people don't seem to care as much. As always, vote with your wallet. Most of these games I'm not going to buy for $45, let alone $70. |
MTs and Lootboxes have been complained about for years to a point where some companies had to go to court, and they even banned the concept in some countries.
In saying that, you can actually argue MTs gives you extra content and is completely optional to a straight up $10 price hike where we get nothing in return except for paying more. Just because MTs are a thing in modern gaming doesn't justify ignoring game prices going up. Sony are not innocent with the MT concept either. GT7 was sold at full price and also had some of the worst MTs this current gen. TLOU1 also had them. It doesn't matter who does MTs because it's not the same thing. Games on GP also have MTs yet the games are technically free on the service.
As an industry, we need everyone from all sides not accepting the PR excuses from these corporate giants, they claim to justify any form of price hike. Not when they continue to earn billions off your services already. This isn't the PS3 and 360 era where the consoles were costing them billions, its completely opposite this gen and last gen.
