RE: Activision goes fully retarded, Want's to create games that will force players into micro transactions.
Do you feel that the element of micro-transactions as whole should be looked upon at a different light, allow me to elaborate on this. Ignoring Activision, Electronic Arts and other gaming companies that use this feature; maybe this might bring a more positive aspect to the developers in the community (especially indie devs and other upcoming devs) to act as an incentive to add value to their games and to continue fueling in more content which would be at the community's discretion to acquire, really interested to hear your thoughts on this!
Thanks for the comment kxreem, micro-transactions should have nothing to do with gameplay specifically, i have no problem with cosmetics or new levels or things like that for example iv'e spent about 100-200 dollars on CS GO items, when it comes to indie games however i feel like micro transactions ruin the dynamic of indie games.
For example Binding of Isaac, an amazingly content filled game that gives you literally hundreds of hours of play time that allows you to unlock different characters, special items, upgrades and has a progression system that continues for a long time, now imagine that instead of progressing or doing challenges to unlock characters you can simply just buy them out right and skip portions of the game which in my eyes is the exact same as hacking in a game, why simply purchase something that plays the game for you.
Like i said I have no problem with micro transactions or DLC when done correctly in a way that isn't intrusive to your game play, the perfect example here being CS:GO, people spend literally 1000's of dollars on a 20 dollar game to get different skins and changes of knives but ultimately it has 0 effect on your game play or theirs, in my mind that's what micro transactions should be.
Thanks again for the comment brother!
