I'd argue that simply grabbing your ankles every time a developer or publisher wants to fuck you in the ass does far more to foster that as a reality. Remember, every time someone does something terrible and it sells well, other people will do the same. Then it will be normalized. Then it will become the standard. And ultimately you're left with an industry full of hot garbage while the older gamers who rant about how extra content used to come free in games in a time before DLC and lootboxes and season passes and always on requirements and mandatory separate accounts and so on come across sounding like the lone madmen. The sort of people who go "Well, at least these microtransactions are only cosmetic!" are the prime example of people who've been beaten down so long they now crave their master's whip. When a publisher gets praised for being slightly less shitty, something has failed. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family ... Copied to Clipboard! |
