I was quite excited when I first saw this being introduced to gaming but now publishers/devs just seem to exploiting and enticing people to any old shit.
The worst thing is this 'Pay to Win' culture that has been cropping up. It's affected WoW Hearthstone quite massively where players who are willing to buy content that adds up to hundreds over time win over and over against players who haven't dipped their hands in their pockets. Whilst high-flying on the leaderboards; they want to keep their streak and position so they then have to keep buying items which get more steep in price and before they know it; it's cost them dearly.
Another thing I hate about gaming is 'Early Access'. You pay essentially full whack for a game that isn't even fit for purpose and shouldn't be on Steam. Most of these are stupidly overpriced anyway for games that aren't even in beta form. I know you have the choice as to whether you support the game but stumping up 100% of the cash at the risk of the dev taking their foot off the gas or you getting bored by the time the game is finished; it's just seems a flawed concept but Steam is plagued with this shite in its droves. You should be able to give let's say 25% of the game RRP and if you want the finished article, you pay the remainder or withdraw and lose your 'deposit'
I hate DLC culture, I hate pre-order bonus culture, microtransactions are becoming massive, early access is stoopid and people just keep getting sucked in to this modern practices.
I hope AW's microtransactions is more than just camo and tacky crap. I wanna see maps, weapons and perhaps DXP tokens or summat. I ain't interested in buying fucking facepaint, a hat or shorts for fuck sake!!
