God I am sick of the battle pass fad. I hope that goes away sometime soon. Every game has to have one nowadays. Such an awful model. Frankly, even the one in FFXIV annoys me.

Eh, battle passes and ala carte dlc got the least pushback from the "Gamerz™" so it's no shock that this is the end result of that trend. Oh well, at least we will have our dlc vouchers, amiibos, and dead validation servers to look back on, lol.

I grew up with microtransactions that you could buy once and be done with it. Stuff that was just in the store. Those were the days..

Someone older than me will just come in here and say they remember the days when there were no microtransactions.

I remember buying NES games at Child Works. How many of you whippersnappers even remember Child Works?

You should come to my uncle's house then. He's a hoarder and has Atari games, one of them being the notorious E.T. game. There's a path you need to follow to get to the game room, though.

Microtransactions have been with games as long as Arcades have existed. I fondly remember requiring all of the quarters I could find in my house in order to make serious attempts at beating certain arcade beat'em ups.

The microtransaction being, "Would you like to continue?" After using your two lives which get expended from just a few hits as you try to progress through the hordes of baddies in the 14 level game, also replete with bosses that kill you in a single hit.

The more lenient games letting you have 3 continues before pumping you for more money!

I don't even know what that is.

Now instead of spending quarters, you get the opportunity to spend tens of thousands of dollars a season in games!
