Expand Yeah, that is what my point is. I am not that blind supporter of unnecessary microtransactions inserted in many AAA games, but we can't even deny that every developer of company is running After money. To keep their share price growing, they need to score better profits each passing quarter. Family sedan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
