I've been saying for a long time that Amiibos are glorified microtransactions and now people are starting to come around...!

People came around before Amiibos even existed! Skylanders started it years before Amiibos, and those were used to unlock whole sections of games.

The SS example is particularly bad, because most of the Amiibo MTX stuff is of the variety nobody cares that much about - minor upgrades, bonus items, costumes, etc. People wouldn't buy that stuff if it were a $2.99 DLC instead of an Amiibo, so it's not a huge deal. Fast travel's an important feature people would be freaking out about if it were regular DLC too, though. Would definitely put this on the ME3 Javik is only DLC level of outrageousness.

Only this is worse because the Amiibo's out of stock everywhere so you can't even buy it...

Mainly I guess it's a win for the people who have one of those Amiibo hacker things so they can get it for free.

Edit: reading about the actual functionality, maybe it's not as big a deal as I thought.
