Microtransactions are not acceptable in full retail single player games. I don't care if it's only cosmetics. If i pay 60 bucks for it, i better get the whole damn thing. Looking at you, Diablo 4.
Related: If it's more than 99¢, it's not a "microtransaction". There's nothing "micro" about $99.99. That's an "in-app purchase".
Absolutely. But you can see it the other way, the "micro" now refers to what you are getting and *not *what you are paying.
@HalJor @Souvlaki Microtransactions? More like Pettytransactions, amiright? :ablobcatbongo:
Further, I'm convinced the term "microtransaction" was introduced by corporations cynically and insidiously knowing full well they would ramp the price up over time deluding the meaning of the term.
