Nobody likes Microtransactions. Just give it to us free. But the Devs gotta get paid one way or another. With Privacy and the used game market possibly taking away from their sales I ask which do you prefer? The ability to buy and sell games vs. an abundance of Microtransactions.

If a pay full $60 for a product I expect a certain amount of entertainment to come with it

What games like Forza and NBA 2K14 are doing should become Illegal I swear, how you sell me a "game" but only let me enjoy like 60% of it?

Honestly I get forza. Making those cars is supposed to be a big deal and if you are hardcore you can get credits. Not to mention you get credits from your drivatar racing too. But 2k for headbands and stuff like that... c'mon

:scusthov: at the short term greadyneas of these companies I swear if 2K15 has these micro transactions still I'm not buying it and that goes for any game


If the game is free from the beginning hey I get your market strategy but don't make me pay for stuff that I already own

nikka, I just spent a rack ($1,000) VC on some Iversons, and can't wear em at the Park cause I don't have a shoe contract :dahell:

Why the fukk did they let me buy the shoes then:why:

My homeboy talking bout, he bout to drop $20 on some VC so his MyPlayer could be fresh. I told that nikka I would punch him in his throat for falling for the okie doke.

But DLC and microtransactons are here to stay, because it's been proven that people will pay. I would rather have the option of no used games than all of these hustle tactics.

First off every generation as the tech becomes more expensive so will the games. People bytched when game prices went up $10 last Gen, and folk will no doubt have issue with microtransactions. However, those expecting game prices to stay stagnant while development costs balloon are living in fantasy land
