      You’ve very obviously never play LITERALLY ANY FUCKING GAME that has existed in the past ten years then.

        Just because things suck more now doesn’t mean we can’t call out the bullshit that started it.

        Some people credit Bethesda and the horse armor DLC as the progenitor of the shitty DLCs and micro transactions we see in the gaming industry today

          Yeah, sure, it was that one thing that one time in that one game that people laughed at. That was it. It totally wasn’t the success of microtransations on mobile devices, with people paying real money for five second clips of MIDI versions of popular song or anything like that.

          Come the fuck on.
