S2E39 - Microtransactions In Full Priced Games - “I’ll spend a week or two in a spaceship and that will be fun”

Microtransactions In Full Priced Games


In this episode:


We talk about microtransactions in full-priced games and slip
into a little bit of F2P talk, too.  

Which microtransactions work for us and which ones just make
us angry?

Discussion ranges from Overwatch and its loot boxes to
Battlefront 2 and its loot boxes. Both are similar systems, but
we aren't sold on one of them.

DLC and microtransactions and expansion content are
increasingly becoming blurred together, and we talk about just
what that means for the future of the industry, as well as our
interest in continuing with games beyond their initial content.

Also, Beej just doesn't really get FPS games. #shrug

Story.  He still thinks Golf Story is a great game!
