The industry is being so weird about this. “If we disclose people will get mad” yeah dude that’s WHY we want you to disclose. Just like you should disclose DLC, microtransactions, and gacha rates. Gamers will probably give in eventually because we always do.
I hope we don’t give in this time🤞

This already happened with microtransactions, loot boxes, deluxe editions and 70$ games. Even an inch is a lot.
zero tolerance needs to be the ONLY position, bc the second anyone can find any foothold to say "but just this teeny tiny amount is fiiiiiine, where's the haaaaarm this was helpfuuuul!" the inch will mean nothing and the mile will be taken by force.

remember when games weren't full of microtransactions bought with in-game currency that if you buy in small amounts you're pretty much ripping yourself off, altering the very value of the dollar and essentially making every item more expensive the less money you can afford to spend

We saw microtransactions on full priced games go from completely rejected to an expected thin in less than a decade

L: What games has this studio (WFS) done?
Me: ...All mobile games.
L: Oh.
Me: No wait! They also have that one game on Steam, the Chrono Cross spiritual successor... that's also filled with microtransactions... and a Mixed Reception.
L: Oh.
Me: Hold up. They have a good game. This Fishing one.

“I hope the Banjo series stays dead” is weak.
“I hope the Banjo series comes back as a live service multiplayer game with battle passes and microtransactions” is what you should say instead.

The gaming industry has shifted from selling complete experiences to fragmenting products into endless microtransactions. Classics like GoldenEye stayed relevant for years based on design alone, while modern titles seem to rely on constant reinvention just to keep the lights on. #gaming #gamedev

there is currently an event in fortnite in which there is a small chance of getting a token which lets you get everything from the item shop for free for two weeks from every chest (which normally requires microtransactions)

This reporting is very good, but I want to highlight the 5 for 80 piece. Online gambling is exploiting the same whale economics that undergirded the opioids crisis and the same whale economics that make microtransactions work.
It's always 5 for 80.

Research shows that deposit frequency into sportsbetting apps is one of the most reliable indicators of problem behavior. Our findings show that the 80% of bettors who deposit the least account for just 5% of all deposits. The Top 5% of bettors account for 80%.

I got ratio'd for this opinion once (keeping MSRPs in the $60-80 range is part of why DLCs and microtransactions have been normalized)

Not even necessarily just talking about the "loose" gameplay either.
I mean even in terms of features and how its setup. Does not feel "live servicey", feels just like a regular old online multiplayer game. Split screen, lobbies, no microtransactions. Pure.

Microtransactions in a $60 game is like having steak at a fancy restaurant and they sell the knife separately. 🙄

Yo he jugado al parchís de Morri y está chulísimo, con partidas muy ágiles y una CPU espabilada. Si tenéis un par de eurillos, podéis pillarlo en Android.

One of the other reviews contradicted that one and said that it wasn't heavy on the microtransactions so I'm just trying to figure out if its worth buying lol

I've been trying Maker Valley on Android.
It is very much animal crossing at home, but its cute and theres no microtransactions as of right now. It could be because its an early access game, I do not see any open beta disclaimers.
I would give it a try while it is still early access
