They're an absolute cancer that shouldn't be in AAA gaming whatsoever. Fuck anyone who defends them.

When they stop being profitable.But that shows no signs of happening.
>>389235709
So it will take a few years before they start fading?

Depends on the type of microtransaction.
Weapon skins/costumes might take a bit longer, as everyone has a latent desire to show off online.
>>389235643
It'll probably take another industry crash that lets us start all over again.
>>389235821
When do you think that will happen?
>>389235851
5 years after never
>>389235819
Purely cosmetic microtransactions aren't as cancerous as P2W microtransactions are.
>>389235882
It would probably take some serious consumer alienation in order for that to happen.
>>389235851
I didn't say I thought it would happen, just that that's probably what it would take.
>>389235643
When people stop buying them, or better still when people stop buying games that contain them. But of course that will never happen because /v/ is a tiny insignificant sample size of all people who play video games, so never.
They just get started. lol

So serious that even normies think the industry has gone too far.
>>389236856
The already shit microtransaction system would probably have to become an outright scam for that to happen.
>>389235643
Never. People even defend having to pay for online play.
