Topic	Jim Sterling now whining about Sea of Thieves microtransactions
ZombiePelican 02/15/18 6:07:31 PM #162:	Darmik posted... That Sea of Thieves is selling cosmetic DLC ala carte as its microtransaction model? The entire basis for Jim Sterling's video? Like your position here doesn't even match what he said in the video. DLC =/= microtransactions Get that through your thick fucking skull. Monster Hunter World has DLC, not microtransactions, D L Fucking C and while it's total bullshit that it was day 1 because it was clearly sawed off the main game to get more money out of you, I however find it way less shitty than what MS obviously wants out of SoT with their microtransactions and will gladly still criticize Capcom for their shit business practices as well Price literally doesn't mean shit here when you have the ability to drop hundreds if thousands into in game shops for virtual play money and it's still considered a "micro" transaction Or are we going to conveniently have another name to reach for again? Darmik posted... So Capcom deserves the benefit of the doubt now? No, however Capcom is being the lesser of two evils here. I do not trust Capcom entirely however it seems at least some part of the people there have some care about the community, unlike the monolithic corporate minded monster that is MS who have made it ever clear they only want to milk us for all we're worth. They gleefully spearheaded the charge towards microtransactions in full priced games at the start on the gen as all of their exclusives launch games had them in there up front and center and if you somehow think Sea of Thieves won't go that route you're more naive than I already paint you as. Darmik posted... What's the BS currency in Sea of Thieves? Hasn't been revelaed yet. But I'm going to guess something obviously pirate themed like Dubloons or gold --- https://i.imgur.com/SiKIsHD.jpg https://i.imgur.com/V62ygzP.jpg https://i.imgur.com/M0MRS6S.gifv https://i.imgur.com/Lc56ify.jpg <cite>ZombiePelican posted [p:896157043] in Jim Sterli...
