Yeah, you're right. 25 million people didn't buy the game because it's fun. I mean, who does that? Seriously!

 

Follow the loot box fiasco? Is this your first time on the internet this year?

 

When did I ever say that this game is a huge flop? I already said that this game has made a shit ton of money. Most of the reviews on steam, however, are extremely mixed. http://store.steampowered.com/app/578080/PLAYERUNKNOWNS_BATTLEGROUNDS/. Doesn't matter how popular the game is. It doesn't excuse the amount of anti-consumer practices in this game.

Also, I have been on this site since January, I know how shitty EA is. 

You didn't but argued why they'd release it. Which the answers are, to sell copies for money thus so people can play the game. Word of mouth and streamers have obviously had an impact on sales here. It's fun.

The $30 price tag for early access. However, the microtransactions and the optimization is not.

The micro transactions again, are cosmetic only and have no effect on the gameplay. The lack of optimisation is in fact part of the PREVIEW EDITION of the game. Especially so considering it will increase in price after the PREVIEW is over. Are we going to go full circle in this conversation again?

Some games make success that we didn't expect

Yeah, a $30 beta game that has microtransactions and has horrible performance was nominated for GOTY. 

And seems like some are very pleased to be sucked dry by corporations.

LOL Care to explain why sounds like a bad thing? Microtransactions does not prevent a game from being good or bad...

The performance tho... 

You are already paying for the game, so nick and dime isn't a good thing.

BS, someone already posted a FAQ covering that the price will stay the same for the full release. But I'm glad you support microtransaction on a paid preview game. The poor devs wouldn't be able to make a port of the PC preview without 30M the X1 players paid and the additional microtransaction right? As long as it is a game you like will you approve of nick and dime?

No. I've said several times that I don't mind micro transactions as long as they don't have any effect on the gameplay. If someone wishes to depart from their hard earned money to stand out online, all power to them.

 

EA and Battlefront 2 can miss out on my cash because of poor implementation of micro transactions despite me playing tonnes of hours on the first title.

Ok then. Still you know that the natural transition is that the devs will keep taking out content to charge extra.

What microtransactions does PUBG even have on Xbox? I haven’t seen a single thing offered in the game. I saw one stupid jump suit offered on the store. Is that it?

Not sure, but it's possible the guy is mixing PC and X1 version. Have X1 version been nominated for GOTY already?

Even PC, outside of the promotional crates for Gamescom, what microtransactions were there?

Seems like more pointless bitching lol.

edit, just to be clear, I’m asking if there were others.

Have no idea, but from ironmanDX just some cosmetic and irrelevant stuff. Which is strange on a preview game, but considering how many games have it nowadays nothing surprising.
