Capitalism is so damn exhausting. It's never enough. Growth growth growth. Unrealistic, unsustainable growth.

If you think CoD is going to be banned in a Western nation for any reason, you need to get off the internet and touch some grass.

After FF15, I really couldn't care less about FF16.

What a piece of trash that was. Mediocre combat, wonky powerup systems (cooking), and maybe the worst told story I've ever experienced in a main line FF game. Though to be fair, the last FF game I played was FF10, which was excellent. I've heard bad things about the Lightning games.

FF7 Remake was good stuff, but it's hard to screw up re-telling a story that's already been written for you. New ground (FF16) has my full skepticism until proven otherwise.

People who pay for microtransactions should feel ashamed. And I'm pretty sure the MTX issue was pointed out during the beta. This is a grindy game, so grind for loot. If they wanna cash in on others unable to control themselves I am totally okay with bleeding every sucker dry even if they second mortgage their home and sell both their kidneys and their children into slavery... I mean, horrible, but that's on them (the players), not Activision-Blizzard. Probably the last addictive thing not spoiled by fentanyl.

I mean, I blame the people who spent $5 on horse armor when all this began. We had a chance to kill this before it began. We had a chance to cast The Ring into the bowels of Mount Doom. We failed ourselves.

Started with TF2 and CS. Valve got this trend going.

but yes, horse armor

Hmmm?

Oblivion horse armor - April, 2006

GRAW's first DLC (which was also mocked, and was required to play with players who bought it) - June, 2006

TF2 Mann Co Store/Mannconomy Update - September, 2010

So yes, horse armor for microtransactions. and GRAW content packs.

Next time check your dates before attempting correction. Less embarrassing that way.

This is System Wars. You know better than to step up to challenge better posters than you without doing your homework well in advance.

Well that certainly explains why things went wrong. Corporate greed strikes again.

@daredevils2k what's up with that trash content creators in your OP? You might want to remove the first one especially. They don't deserve our clicks and certainly don't deserve to be posted here.

Lots of better creators that you can replace them with. Do better.

Don't buy this stuff. There's no imperative to even open the shop/store page. Unbind the key and never worry about it again. I haven't even looked at the shop page and never will. There are more than enough looks you can transmog/extract from gear you find in the world.

This isn't to say greedy microtransactions aren't a problem; rather that in this case they are wholly avoidable. Avoid them. Especially given they aren't needed to actually support the game (unlike, say GGG and Path of Exile, which is F2P and fully supported by microtransactions).

Awesome news. Really enjoyed my Quest 2 experience. Took it on every international trip I took over the last few years and it's always made me smile when watching movies or playing something like Star Wars pinball or Beat Saber.

Didn't use it much at home because I preferred my Valve VR headset and its superior lighthouse tracking. But will 1000% upgrade here.
