Topic	Jim Sterling now whining about Sea of Thieves microtransactions

EA make lots of money so that means you should be able to play their games for free? since any claims that microtransactions aren't hugely profitable are objectively demonstrably bullshit, what is the justification for your claim that sea of thieves couldn't be supported as a free to play title EA making money on DLC doesn't somehow magically mean that Sea of Thieves would be sustainable solely on a cosmetic microtransaction business model. A model that doesn't even start until 3 months after launch too. Microsoft strikes me as the kind of company that would monetize the shit out of SoT. Look at all the microtransactions they have for Halo, Gears and especially Forza. They have so few first party exclusives; they're going to milk them dry. --- Physician [Internal Medicine] <cite>Coffeebeanz posted [p:896097985] in Jim Sterli...
