I have an issue with the micro transactions. Most of them are absolutely diabolical. You expect me to spend 3$ for sonic in a white hoodie? I would use that 3$ to buy ye olde visual novel on steam Or a complete game on steam! Make those ones at most 50K rings please 🙏 or at least make things affordable? (The game JUST released bro)

  1. How do you expect them to make money?
  2. You don't have to buy it, you said it yourself - you could buy a visual novel with that, if you like the game enough you spend money, the price shouldn't matter... Right?
  3. We're in the end game of capitalism, I dunno what you're expecting. Of course if nobody spends money they might lower the prices to compensate for the lack of spenders, but from what I've seen I dunno if that will happen.
  4. Unlike other games --- fighting games for example - where you have to spend $60-70 for the game, then $20 for their pass, probably ANOTHER $20 for the SECOND pass, $5-10 for a individual character, $15-30 extra stages and customization, and possibly $3 for frame data (Tekken 7 for the last one)
  5. The only thing I agree on is that prices for things should not cost more than 10 dollars because the word ''Microtransaction'' has lost it's meaning because bro that's not micro, that's a transaction haha
