    Too bad game devs don’t care. They make more farming rich morons using micros and FOMO than they could dream of making, otherwise.

      Hot take: mtx are a good thing as long as they don’t cause a significant imbalance in gameplay. There’s a reason the price of a AAA game has remained roughly $60 for nearly two decades in spite of increasing development costs and inflation.

      People who purchase in game add-ons subsidize those who don’t.
