One game I mentioned some months ago that started with this was Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed Unity. Which was a basic insult to gamers. We were given all this super hype for a broken game that was bugged, glitched and down right creepy at times...
But what I don't get is why is Micro-transactions becoming a thing now? Just recently the Mortal Kombat X came out on April 14th for the Xbox One and Playstation 4 but guess what? If you didn't Preorder you didn't get Goro but then they shove that detail in your face with the 'Press X (or whatever) to purchase Goro'. Then why is there the option for 'Easy Fatalities' started at $0.99 to $4.99?
Netherrealm Studios what are you doing?! Don't go with the Micro-transaction train. Your Mortal Kombat (2011) was amazing, it sold so well especially when you brought out the 'Komplete' edition and you didn't have Micro-Transactions back then hidden away in the back corner for us to discover. I mean look at this:
What is this? Why are companies doing this? Why do they want us to shell out more money? I mean it's hard enough to afford every $60 game and now we have to pay more? I don't care if it's even a penny more this trend has to stop. People were happy as ever when the teaser trailer debuted only to find out this? They the other characters are literally ON THE DISC that they have locked away with some 'lock code' that we are then forced to buy that code for $20-$30 which is basically saying what we bought the very game for was not enough. This is becoming a very gross trend that is honestly is making me and perhaps some other gamers out there wonder what happened to the good old days where there was not DLC, Expansions were mostly for the PC, Micro-Transactions were solely on the Mobile games. What happened to that simpler time? Honestly I miss the Playstation 2 Era which was by far one of; in my opinion, the best of the generations. Games were straight forward, no DLC coding locks; none of that. Now we have company corporate leaders saying they want more money.
They practically want to put a vaccum in your pocketbook, purse or wallet and suck every penny out of it and the more people LET THEM do it the more they will continue. I can't stand how the gaming company is becoming money greedy monsters. I don't like seeing companies say give me more, and we'll give you easy fatalities or pay five dollars to unlock a character already on the disc. Putting the character already on the disc then waving it in our faces that we have to buy him is like waving a steak in a starving lions face and saying he has to fork over his pride lionesses for it. This has got to stop and the only way it will is with the voice of the gamers. WE give them their paychecks, WE keep their lights on, WE need to be heard. No more Micro-Transactions, your DLCs were enough already but this trend is going on too much and it has to end.
Unlock all Krypt items? What happened to actually going through and having fun? You want me to for out $16 (Or what you see on the image) for something I could instead have fun doing? Wow, that slap hurts. Anyone who buys the Easy Fatalities or Unlock all Krypt stuff, you should be ashamed for letting the bad behavior of the gaming companies continue to act greedy. Stop completely fattening their wallets you'll only continue this trend into other games you love. Next thing you know it'll be like the next Mario game you have to pay $20 to play as Luigi. (And no Nintendo I'm not paying you because I don't do the blogs for money, that's another act of greed).
If this continues I'm sure soon enough the gaming company will slowly fall on it's face. You thought that E.T game was what almost killed gaming? Careful Game companies, you might just end it all with your bad choices.
