Time will tell, but I get no-good vibes from this, because Activision (and others) will just continue to add stuff like this into their games if people don't say no to it (which they could do by voting with their wallets).
Until they have sucked the market dry and end up with nothing because the market has boomed. That's what EA has been doing with their series, so it's no wonder why gamers are looking for other options.
I made a joke to my father the other day that "IF" it's been like this when the first Diablo game launched, then I bet that he would have spent tons of real money on items and whatnot in the game, because that's how freaking bad it is nowadays...There's just so much deception, lies and hidden fees. Not to mention the fact that "some" publishers and devs release half-broken games with a 60 USD price tag like it isn't no big deal.
I hope t...
Here's the thing, if Gamers keep on buying their games no matter what. Then they're sending Activision the message that we're cool with this. In other words, Activision will then continue to implement even more stuff which we will have to pay for with real money...And then it's just a matter of time before everyone else in the industry simply copies Activision's microtransaction business model.
Hehe, I know right? :P It's something like that for me as well. So I'm just going to stick to other alternatives instead.
I for one haven't bought a single game from them in at least 10-years time now. So I have no intensions to change that. Especially now that I know about their microtransaction patent.
That's the best way to fight this imo, because that will send them (and others) a really powerful message that we're not cool with practices of this kind.
Don't give them any ideas now...
That was a really low and cheap blow with no doubt. So we can expect to get more of that matter in the future with no doubt.
From my point of view, I think that Activision has managed to top EA when it comes to greed, and that takes a WHOLE lot of effort...So it's just going to get worse from here.
Well, Sharn did play the game on the PS4. So I guess that's the case?
Thanks =)
It's your loss ;)
Christ...I didn't know that it was that bad :S
Nice console that =)
In case you wonder, "Sakura Gamer" is like the uber lewd version of the anime "New Game".
That will most likely happen sooner or later ;)
And yet some how, it's been used by many:

Nevertheless, I have corrected the error.
I have to admit that the game looks pretty darn cool, yes ;)
I hope that you will enjoy it =) Well, truth be told, either did I ;)
