I'm not crucifying you, ZP. I was only pointing something out. You really like this guy for whatever reason to the point of defending him.

Yeah, but literally all he does is bitch about AAA gaming and Microtransactions. Like everyone else does.

What is this proving? That you won't even watch the video because of his appearance?

You're proud of being ignorant for the sake of being ignorant?

Then this would be the fault of the publishers for giving him so much quality content. If you're tired of hearing about microtransactions then blame the publishers who shoehorn them into paid games

I hate microtransactions as much as the next guy, but listening to him talk about it for the billionth time has just gotten old. We get it, loot boxes and microtransactions are the bane of the game industry. If you need this guy to tell you that I don't know what to tell you...

This is the attitude publishers want, that you get tired of hearing about it because it's something that's just accepted and normalized. Jim even discussed this already in a Jimquisition

I don't but again, the reason it keeps getting brought up especially from Jim is because the moment we stop talking about them and bringing up how awful they are the more people just become content with them and we cannot allow this to happen

I'm sure if you shout enough times on the internet it'll surely get publishers to stop using microtransactions.

Newsflash: It's already happened.

Maybe I'd give a shit, but all of you acted like I was a jackass when I warned of this 4 years ago. You all deserve this now for letting it even get this far.

Online backlash from consumers killed things like always online DRM, On disc DLC, online passes, Square's disgusting Augment Your Preorder campaign,and Bethesda's first attempt at paid mods.

Why would this be any different? Better yet why are you so bitter and angsty?

Idk why you think i'm bitter or angsty. I'm not the one who spends their time online typing up complaints about microtransactions on gamefaqs that publishers likely won't see.

Besides, it's not like I'm against condemning bad uses of microtransactions. I just don't hate the concept to the point where the only thing I can do is complain about it on gamefaqs.

Online Backlash didn't kill Online Passes, loot boxes and continued used game sales did.

Bringing up Bethesdas first attempt at paid mods as a victory doesn't work when all they did was bring up a second one and since it was on consoles console fanboys ate it up.

This doesn't make any sense, Publishers hate used games and more being sold used should have pushed them to double down on online passes

Used game buyers were not buying their games at all because they only buy used. The idea was that it was going to get people who buy used to buy new, but it didn't work at all and people who buy used just passed on their games entirely.

All they were doing were getting bad press for it, so they stopped and started just focusing on microtransactions as they still make money on used sales from there.

Nobody stopped buying games because of online passes. They just didn't get more sales from it. Online passes effectively bar people from buying microtransactions.
