The worst part about it is that it doesn't get anywhere near the same kind of attention as games on consoles or PC. Yeah, it's attention can't be compared to consoles type, but yet, the rate of it's micro-transactions are way to high. I know how much I do spend buying in-game items done times, making me to deviate a little bit from playing it's MMO game or doing some upgrade.

Justin11 Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 If it's cheaper, and requires me to do such purchase before enjoying the game more, definitely I'll upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You see, that's the trap! They design the games to be a grind and not fun unless you pay to skip the grind. They design a problem then sell you the solution. In other words the game is not only shit, it's shit on purpose! This is why I despise micro-transactions so much. There is not one circumstance where their inclusion has made a game better to play.

I don't suggest anyone to spend a lot of money in in-game purchases, however, buying various items once in a while adds fun to your gaming experience.

Overspending is never an option. I have other things that needs money attend. I would just spend on the important items on the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Head_Hunter Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 Apart from using my mobile data to play online mobile games, I don't think i can remember anytime i did an upgrade or purchased items online using my credit/debit card. As for consoles it is viable that way, but not often, because i hate micro-transactions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, what I mean is if the game is designed in such a way that you need to spend extra money to make it better, then the game itself has been compromised by design in order to encourage you to pay. If they weren't comprising it and your having fun then you wouldn't buy any of the microtransactions, see what I mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egghead Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 Now I understand what I mean. In game purchases are not mandatory but I think sometimes buying power, new armor, etc, doubles the fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is income consuming to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skyfire Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 In app purchase these days is not that easy to get rid of as it is part of system. if it's not ad featured it becomes difficult to work with as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
