Milking

thank you you are right. i hate when people say "omg i already have that game and they want me to pay 10$ to play it again. no they dont. u payed $50-$60 for it years ago but some ppl werent gamers then so $10 for a classic game is amazing for an N64 title u havent played. plus it will be even more worth it when "rare" games come out for it like Super Mario RPG. good post.BigBadButters

I don't get the whole " milking" issue. Why do people get worked up, and decide " Hey! They are selling upgrades for My game! I need all of them!!!! Crap, that cost me $50..... It's Microsofts/Sony's Fault for offering ways to improve the game!!"

This isn't a scam. If you are dumb enough to sit and buy $100s of dollars in downloads, thats your fault, no one elses, and you need more self contol. They are Selling Something, right? You CAN buy them, it's optional, not mandatory, and no one, or thing, is forcing you to. So, as a fair exchange, you pay for the goods. The Terms are clear and not misleading. You give them MP or $, and they give you "Item".

"Bu-Bu-But Dey are selling horse armor for 200 MP and thats a rip off" Well then don't buy it moron!!!! If you are dumb enough to pay 3 or 4 bucks for some virtual armor, then you deserve this so called "milking"

And the virtual console. " Dey iz charging for the Gamez!!!" Listen. You were willing to pay 50 dollars for these games 20-30 years ago. they are now $10. If you don't want to pay that, don't buy it. It's that simple.

I agree with you on some issues, But 200MP for horse armour is ridiculous.

Sure your dumb if you buy it, But I don't think thats a fair price for Horse Armour

Fair price for Horse Armour.  Well since there is no market for Horse Armour, they can charge whatever they see fit.  It's not milking.  It's not required to play the game.  Milking is buying a cell phone, they having to subscribe to a service, then having to pay to have your phone activated for the service.
