    and this is why I’ll likely never buy another game from any company that uses microtransctions, in-app purchases, pay-to-win, rich idiots yacht fund, or whatever bs they call it these days… especially when these days they aren’t even ‘micro’!

    I really don’t get it though. in-game purchases make every game just awful and yet people are spending 1000’s on them and it’s like how does anyone how that kinda money to waste when if I had that kinda money I sure as hell wouldn’t be wasting it on shitty pay-to-win game!

    So hopefully if it turns out to be as shitty as people are starting to expect, how many people are still going to buy it…

      I think it is important to distinguish pay to win microtransactions from cosmetic microtransactions. The latter are a great way for rich players to support the game and get bragging rights, while not affecting other people’s gameplay. Even ‘pay to win more easily’ can be fine if kept to a reasonable level.
