Microtransactions coming to Battlegrounds

>>383084465
the airdrop crates are what really pissed me off op. so stupid.

>>383084465
because people will buy it, and the game industry is a product meant to be sold. If you want someone that makes games as a passion, try elsewhere.

Same way Art developed from starving artists to elitist pricks

I buy keys and airdrops because it helps our group. I did this in H1Z1, and I will do this in PUBG. kids like you getting mad are why i do it lol

>>383084465
If it's cosmetic it's not the worst. What's shit is when you can't unlock things at a steady or enjoyable rate without buying into it. Why shouldn't a game just spray clothing unlocks all over you? Because they can turn it into a drip-feed and retards won't complain. Remember when unlock systems were artistic?

micro transactions are alright imo

If its cosmetic shit i dont give a fuck i already sell all my clothes on the the steam market

>>383084465
>Is this the new standard, /v/?
yep. that's just how it is anymore OP.

>playing streamerbait shit
>expecting not to get cucked

>>383084465
>I paid $30 for the fucking game
And that's where you fucked up. Never buy early access, and certainly not early access battle royale streamerbait shooters.

>>383085246
nice buzzword bucko, too bad there's none to be seen

>>383085015
>Remember when unlock systems were artistic?
Unlock systems have always been fucking cancer.

I once saw somebody say god mode should have had Microtransactions.

>>383084465
All you did was pay $30. You can rack up hundreds of hours before microtransactions make it into the game. Stop getting pissed off over nothing.

>>383086405
who?

>>383084465
If any of that is true I will drop the game and be disappointed.

Post yfw never microtransacted in a game.

Source? I've never heard of any micro-transactions being anything but cosmetic. OP is making shit up.

Aren't microtransactions in game right now via steam community market? Is anyone surprised by this? I think the only way this could upset me is the game is immediately F2P or something.

>>383087167
You know why this thread is barely getting attention? because no one cares.

No one cares that any of the valve games do it either.

>>383086258
You're right. They're always a substitute for a more natural "unlocking" that is inherent in exploring a game. The cancerous part is that they're based on some low-level accounting (run 500 feet to unlock this new ability! own the previous games in the series! pay $5!)

Shop systems are basically unlock systems, but they're also kind of cancerous as far as they overtake some better form of accessing content (such as: Far Cry 3 putting every weapon behind a shop instead of hiding them in the game world)

>>383087167
Sure, you can buy someone's preorder coat off them, but it does nothing.

same here. I got so bad that I was willing to spend rent money on the stuff.

>>383087008
It has been ages but from what I remember it was a 1-4 player co op shooter with greek flavoring. From what I remember it was pretty fun with maybe a little too much hp bloat.

I think you also got powers of some sort but that may be my memory playing tricks on me. I think there was a fun siege map.

I don't get it, won't you just get these cosmetic items just by playing the game? I didn't see anything about weapon upgrades.

>>383088450
are you kidding? the refund period starts again when its out of it, so ill rack up another 1000 hours then refund it when it comes out, its win win

What were planning to do, is to add purchasable items (like weapons/skin) via crates, this will allow us to create DLC packs down the road." Microtransactions are coming after Early Access.

You can refund a game as soon as it comes out of early access.

Its the exact opposite you moron, ea peeps like me have gotten around 200 hours out of the game for 30 bucks; everyone after ea will have to pay that on top of micro transactions.

Lel get rekt.

>>383088264

Nobody needs to justify anything to you, you fuck. If you don't want any of the microtransactions don't buy them.

What the fuck is the matter with you? Scared you'll compulsively rack up debt on mommy's credit card?

>>383088524

Agreed. The only people afraid of micros are broke morons (who shouldn't be playing a micro game), and children.

Micro's are healthy, and keep a game growing and going. If you disagree with micro's, you are the cancer killing vidya.

big fucking woop, this shit is already in the game and you get the crates from battle points or whatever the fuck they called them and then you can sell/buy on the market

this is purely cosmetic and won't affect gameplay

It's cosmetics, why do you try and bait replies? what sort of autistic faggot do you have to be if someone buys crates for some aesthetic skins

If I can make my vector neon green I'll buy some. Seriously I don't know why but making my gun be just obnoxious to look at appeals to me on a deep level.

>>383088264
Explain why cosmetic microtransactions are a problem at all and how they ruin the game for you. Explain how they stop you from playing the game right now and getting your "$30 worth" assuming you're the faggot OP who brought up having paid $30 as if that's a big deal.

>>383088264
A non-argument for a non-issue. Seems fine to me.

literally how

no, seriously, just how

On PSN I've had several occasion where I needed to delete people in order to add more. It just happens so fucking fast and naturally but on steam it feels like there's nothing but a bunch of mute retards raging internally. I built my pc back in 2012 and I have fucking 7 friends on my list, one of which hasn't logged in in 3 years, 3 others don't play anything and barely show up online, then there is this guy that added me from age of empires 2 because I'm a complete noob and he wanted to train together since he is much better player than I am. But then when he created a match and invited me and my friend, I waited until he went for my friend and royally fucked him over, which made him ragequit without saying anything, now he's just awkwardly there and it's been weeks since. Then there is my oldest friend who plays Tree of Savior like a complete fucking retard. I mean, just fucking look at pic related. It's 100% tree of savior. And the last guy plays stuff with me, but he's casual as fuck and needs handholding on everything, but it's okay since he's my boyfriend.

>>383097778
Well it is far better but it is still a bad thing. Not bad enough to get this mad over though.

The never-ending escort quest.

>>383096850
Not him but the only cosmetic shit that bothers me is shit that doesn't fit into the game's theme or affects stats directly.

>>383097457
I can avoid buying the microtransactions, yes, but I can't avoid getting stomped by P2W players or avoid seeing giant penis as far as the eye can see. "Avoiding" it means to stop playing the game that I paid for.

For cosmetic items? I hate the practice, but its not a game breaker.


For weapons and armor? It ruins the fucking game. Especially Battlegrounds. The whole point is that you drop in with literally nothing but your clothes. Giving players exclusive weapons and armor breaks the game.
