You know, for a community of hobbyists that hate micro-transactions and wish they'd go away from gaming, y'all sure do a lot of micro-transactions. If I was a game developer trying to make a profit, the direction is clear.

@drunkosaurus@lemmy.dbzer0.com "nice bait tho" lol. Save that "wit" for the gamer forums.
If there's one lesson here - it's the massive disconnect between online loud people and reality. The same with politics, with so much. So it goes in gaming.

@renwillis@mstdn.social Yeah…I'm certainly not a fan of game prices creeping up, but exploitative microtransactions definitely rile me up more.
