Exactly, it's still part of the gaming fans that feed their greedy and it's actually impossible to stop that from happening.

And we can't do anything to that. I mean they have the monopoly in the gaming market, so the gamers are bound to buy the upgrades with money. There's no one to listen to our issues. 🙄

Exactly. The games are crafted that way that it becomes near to impossible to complete some missions without buying upgrades. Even in moderate difficulty, you will find it hard to complete some missions without updating your weapons.🙄

Hmm. I had experienced in some games like Metro 2033, where some of the missions were too tough. I mean, when you have the option to buy and skip the obstacles, and you do have money you would go with that option only. 😏

I'm definitely not going to be open to doing that at all because it's horrible.

I normally don't go for such microtransactions that easily, only if it is highly necessary, then only go with that. What about your experience in this regard.🙄

Even I would suggest all others not to buy such things, that will only boost the I'll mentality of the game developers to squeeze out money. 🙄 It may sound odd, but the gaming community must stand against these monopolies of the big companies. 🙄
TopSilver Posted August 11, 2021 Posted August 11, 2021 We pay for Xbox Live and also Netflix. That's about it but it's quite enjoyable nowadays to say the least to at least have a couple subscriptions depending on what they are.

I think it's on my number one expenses on monthly basis.

First thing, I don't like streaming all my videos, secondly, 2 to 3 games per month is too much for me to cop up with. I don't have that much time to play games like that. It's better to buy individual games as per requirement. 😊

Afterall , gamers community is not confined to a single place or server. For such restructuring, every gamer should come forward, and it's nearly impossible. 😏
