that means that it must be super predatory.
Or that they knew that it’s something a lot of people overreact about.
Mtx are just plain bad for consumers though. They can bleed money from people with bad spending habits and other issues and they hate a lot of content that used to (usually) unlockable in-game content, and if it’s undeniably extra content then they usually become a bit wild like fortnite causing the game to lose a lot of is individual identity that it had at its start, or they just give poorer players FOMO. Other than being a way for consumers to give companies a little extra money for making a good game or content, I can’t think of anything good to say about mtx especially when it comes to the actual game itself.
Thanks for making my point for me. It doesn’t matter if mtx are completely cosmetic and don’t particularly have any effects on gameplay. People are just going to complain about it existing at all
Because games took a very noticeable turn for the worse when microtransactions were introduced. Go play some older games and they’re full of secrets and unlockables. Not only did you get much of the very same content, for free, but it was usually a lot more fun and engaging to find/collect everything than just forking over some money. It’s not just games either, the entire business model of declining quality so they can sell you the same things over and over again for more and more money is permeating everything in society and people are getting really ticked off.
Because they are objectively bad for games and gamers. We’re not complaining for the sake of complaining

It is not an objective truth, what makes you think that they’re good for games and gamers?
Remember when games would have you stuff for free by just playing the game normally, rather than having to empty your wallet or play the game like it was a second job? Because I do.
You’ve either never seen or played games prior to mtx, a closet gambling addict, or spent too much on something like LoL and now have buyers bias trying to justify your worthless digital “goods”, to be defending mtx as hard as you are.

I mean, if you throw enough shit around someone will eventually fling some back
Or that they knew that it’s something a lot of people overreact about.
In other words something a lot of people don’t like.
