microtransactions are ruining the gaming industry. a game that's supposed to be fun and immersive is instead turned into a cash grab, nickel and diming you for every little thing.

can't believe how many websites require you to create an account just to read an article or watch a video, what's the point of that?

the good old days are gone, man. these games these days are all soulless, corporate cash grabs. back when we had real games that shipped complete, not a million dlcs and microtransactions.
