Topic	Jim Sterling now whining about Sea of Thieves microtransactions

Definitely, especially in the case of GTA given how closely they've been following the free to play business model with their most recent updates But you understand why that's not going to happen right? Like GTA Online was a mess as it is launch. Imagine if people could play GTA for free? That alone would sink a lot of money in their servers. They do make a lot of money from games and microtransactions. That's how Rockstar managed to keep updating the game for 4 years after it originally released. But there's still a lot of people out there who pay for the game and nothing else. These people are the majority. If people could play AAA games for free the F2P mechanics would be even worse. I don't think people seem to realize how much worse it is in the mobile space and that's with games with small budgets. --- Kind Regards, Darmik <cite>Darmik posted [p:896099075] in Jim Sterli...
