You thought $90,000 in microtransactions was bad? Then you should see what one person spent on a mobile Transformers game.
I used to play this game and wow, every thing was centered around gating a user as much as possible.
Wasn't long before you hit a wall or have to wait days to farm or build items because you're not spending real money.
this is why these publishers and i am not even going to call them greedy and fighting so hard to protect MT in games. The reason i won't call them greedy because your have people like this gamer here who are called whales and they are the reasons we all have to deal with MT in our games
from a publishers point of view it's easy money
That doesn't mean the publishers aren't greedy. They're ruining the scene for most gamers to make far more money than they need from some people with more money than sense (and some without both, who end up bankrupting themselves). That's practically a definition of greed.
They are greedy, and they exploit psychological impulses. But we can't only blame the developers, and I won't call this person stupid. But I can think MJ of other things I'd spend 220k on rather than a video game.
I'm not sure what's worse, seeing the same gating strategies used in subscription based AAA games like WoW (it's one of BFA's largest criticisms) or the fact developers are talking about this sort of spending in a positive way.
I don't hate microtransactions (or even loot boxes) as long as they are cosmetic, fairly implemented, and don't lock any gameplay aspect behind a paywall. There are FTP games that understand this perfectly, and I am, in fact, a big fan of Paladins, a FTP game that I've been playing non-stop for over a year now because their microtransactions are pretty well implemented (100% cosmetic, loot boxes never give you repeat items, and plenty of options to buy stuff you actually want outright if you don't want to bet on loot boxes).
But any game that restricts my playtime unless I pay money, or becomes pay to win in any way... yeah no, fuck that.
"But any game that restricts my playtime unless I pay money, or becomes pay to win in any way... yeah no, fuck that."
100% agreed, this is why I can't get behind a lot of FTP games that are basically designed around this model.
Yeah it's a FTP mobile game so no surprise here.
The reason why I tried it is because I'm a Transformers fan but unfortunately this falls into the oh so familiar pay for everything you do realm that plagues these ftp games on mobile devices.
MTs won't stop until idiots like the one spending almost a quarter of a million dollars exist
They won’t tho if people out there are spending this much. I’d wanna be in the game for the much.
Microtransactions aren't inherently evil. You can do them right, and there are games that do so. Sadly, they are the minority, I guess.
I think you misunderstood my post. I said that the games that have well implemented, fair microtransactions are the minority. So yeah, we agree here.
I'd hate to be that guy explaining to the wife we can't afford rent or keep food in the fridge because I spent the money on a damn cellphone game.
Galvatron has now made his appearance into Transformers Earth Wars thanks to the Till All Are One weekend event. This review will cover the comparisons to Megatron, my opinion and some tips for using him.
Transformers: Earth Wars is a new MMO real time strategy game for the iOS and Android platforms. You can play as either the Autobots or the Decepticons, and whoever you choose, your goal is to fight and win against the other side using the best attack and defense strategies that you can come up with, like a Transformers-flavored Clash of Clans.
