You guys must be too young to remember the Oblivion Horse DLC. Bethesda’s one of the earliest culprits
It's funny how when this was released, people were massively up in arms since it was 'only cosmetic' - then we saw what these companies would do with PvP games and P2W microtransactions, so people had to turn around and beg for them to return to being purely cosmetic additions...
Geez... I had to look it up and that was 18 years ago. There are legal adults today that weren't born yet.
I remember it though I didn't have an Xbox and it I remember correctly, I want to say it was only available on Xbox.
Hey, you guys wanna rage for a bit?
There are more microtransactions in Valve's latest game than on EA's, by a huge margin.
ROUND 1, FIGHT!
Just googled their latest 2 releases to compare. Sims 4: For Rent, a cash-grab low-effort Sims DLC, doesn't have microtransactions while Counterstrike 2 does.
EDIT: Neither does their last full game release, EA Sports WRC. Their upcoming game, F1 24 looks like it's absolutely riddled with mtx though.
You missed one, the last game EA published is Tales of Kenzera: Zau, a single player metroidvania. Also no MTX. So that's what? Three for three?
You can't go too wide here, though, because EA makes so many more games than Valve, so let me reframe it.
EA has released way more games with no games-as-service stuff in them than Valve in the past decade.
ROUND 2...
Would be interesting when a low effort DLC had micro transactions.
Yea I feel like this post has some real 2014 energy. There are much bigger problems in the industry right now. 2K absolutely loading their titles with MTX and gambling, the whole mobile industry digging into people's life savings, Microsoft absolutely eviscerating good studios.
you mean capitalism
I thought he'd create the jackpot
He just created greed. All the others evil flow from it.
That's a funny Ubisoft logo.
I guess we're not looking at valve at all?
