For me I say that a truck with a cab longer than its bed is not a truck, but an SUV with an overgrown bumper.

    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”.

      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.

      Agree 100%. I’d honestly argue there shouldn’t be microtransactions in any single-player game, unless it is free.

      I miss the days when you unlocked cosmetics, etc. by actually playing the game and doing achievements rather than needing to buy them through "micro"transactions.
