To anyone trying to justify microtransactions ruining our games with "b-but making ga-ames is more expensive now, right guys?":

Digital distribution removes about half of all costs of producing the game but games are still priced at over double what they were ten years ago (triple+ if counting the day-1 special™ editions of most games).
That theoretically results in over four times the profit for every game.

Also a merry belated Christmasgiving brunch party my chaps.

Also Steam and other distributors (non-gaming too) are trying to use P2P so they don't have to pay as much for servers, at your expense lmao

oh boy hes back at it with some more C O M M U N I S M

microtransaction's are fine if they dont interfere with core gameplay

Idk. Developing a game today is by far more expensive than past games combined. So much work goes into them. But I also never buy games at full price

Also I see no issue with microtransactions if all dlc is free
