You can't buy any items that give extra stats with real money, only cosmetics. So the games are easily affordable for anyone, there's zero pay2win stuff and the devs are still rolling in money because people buy huge amount of cases. <cite>GunmaN1905 posted [p:890701854] in What is id...

DocDelicious 11/19/17 7:01:13 PM #53:	Elite: Dangerous is my ideal. $60 base game. $30 expansions (full-fledged expansions not piecemeal DLC). Microtransactions that are 100% cosmetic, range in price from $1-$12, and don't involve any RNG. You get exactly what you pay for. --- o7 Let strength be granted so the world might be mended. <cite>DocDelicious posted [p:890701985] in What is id...

It also leads to me spending more money after launch considering I'd never spend that much on microtransactions. GunmaN1905 posted... Valve model.

MacDaMurderer 11/19/17 7:26:23 PM #55:	Halo 3 did it best. $60 game with $10-15 map packs. When new map pack releases previous map pack goes free. Campaign with 4 player coop and arcade mode. Map editor included with theater mode that allowed you to make fucking movies if you wanted. No microtransactions, and armor that you can unlock via gameplay achievements only. How did we have this back in 07 and now we get nothing for $60? --- @macdamurderer GT: Mac Da Murderer <cite>MacDaMurderer posted [p:890703434] in What is id...

KainWind 11/19/17 10:46:39 PM #60:	Steve Nick posted... KainWind posted... Overwatch is perfect. Sounds the same as what is being described for Halo 5 as well. Let people spend all their money on lootboxes or whatever as long as they are obtainable otherwise and don't give a gameplay advantage. Overwatch isn't perfect. This slippery slope you're allowing is what's killing gaming. Perfect would be if Overwatch removed the option to buy crates with RL money. I'm not an expert on the subject, but I believe all these people buying lootboxes help fund all the new characters, maps, and modes that the Overwatch team provides for free. I'm okay with that. --- http://i.imgtc.com/pRZqu18C.gif http://i.imgtc.com/jccgiB1G.gif http://i.imgtc.com/WEkU41Yb.gif http://i.imgtc.com/dBcIyU2x.gif <cite>KainWind posted [p:890716626] in What is id...
