Buy microtransactions, anon. Data has proven that spending money on MTX makes video games more FUN!

>They claim they’ve figured out the “adoption of monetization and engagement policies that respect the player experience and are sustainable in the long term.”
>“At Ubisoft, the golden rule when developing premium games is to allow players to enjoy the game in full without having to spend more. Our monetization offer within premium games makes the player experience more fun by allowing them to personalize their avatars or progress more quickly, however this is always optional,” their quarterly report reads.

"Engagement" isn't a measure of fun and is usually the opposite of fun. Engagement is psychological manipulation to continue doing things you hate via pavlovian processes.

Skins are making games more fun, so I can see the argument that selling Skins for your singleplayet game is making it more fun. However, I really can't imagine that Ubisoft is able to make appealing skins

meanwhile, you've been doing the same shit the entire game. not enough cutscenes to break it up for you? and lets not forget that its the same as the online component. there was no "grind". if all you want is a cutscene, then look it up on youtube. if you enjoy playing the game, the same shit you've been doing the entire time, then you enjoy playing the game and you have nothing to complain about.

That's an interesting concept, however fun fuct - playing no game costs no money. So as you progress along the line of paying more to play less, at some point when you reach a stage when you paid so much you essentially do not have to play at all it suddenly turns out it should be the most costly, but is in fact the cheapest.

Well sure, I did exaggerate. There's usually some limit as to how much "less" you can play by paying. Can't just pay for a "skip dlc" that makes you go from "start game" immediately to end credits. Yet.

Probably correct. If you can't make the character you play as look good it tends to be a shit game.

I'll never play Max Payne 2 because of bix nood. But if the shitted version of some character was replaceable with a human then going looking for good things in it could be an option. Thankfully there are better things than brainwashing (or more accurately brainreducing), imagination one of them.

Big problem in kids playing could be made addicted to buying shit, and even if not, spend more money than people can afford.

Piracy fixes it. But always online defeats piracy, and is required for advancing graphics without replacing hardware. "Stop killing games" yeah, you're fucking stupid, a rapist, and the raped try to normalise themselves, make being raped and rape superior. Stupid cowards.

Be good to expand upon a game. PS Home was great. Paying a little for little treats would have been acceptable. Better to pay after playing. To avoid funding judaism, wrong etc.

Have a world. Have activities. If enjoying one then pay for another from the same devs.
>Stop killing games
YOU are killing games. You diversion from dreams. Inhibition getting inbetween people and playing. Fucking pedophile preying on children, like they need to be failure subscribers to play and participate. Like good things are a scene with gatekeeping. Good things are not a part of that. They are good by themselves and you are a parasite.

Pay, and have a plethora to spend on in world. Want more, then pay more. Choose. Make games without endings, at least until a great one is though of, a good send off. Like the Last of Us. Any playing the sequel or DLC constructors of hell. Finally do something right, then linger saying goodbye. Like break women out of a women's prison, mental institution etc torture construct. As dying get fucked and pass on a hero.

So basically put shit that used to be free behind a pay wall.
Unlockable skins? Customization? Gameplay settings (granted a lot fewer games generally do this)? Pay up.

The only games that I've seen which do Microtransactions "right" in my opinion, are MHWorld and MHWilds. The games have tons of content without MTX, and release new content regularly. All of the meaningful content is free, with superfluous stuff also added via Event Quests, while the MTX is all silly cosmetics which are completely unnecessary to enjoy the game. The MTX are used to support ongoing support of the main game.

I'm sure other games have done it well too, but these are the ones I've experienced.
