Dead space 3 microtransactions can be completely ignored they're basically paid cheat codes11/5/2023 ![]() ![]() It's just that there's now also another market, serving different customers with casual games with gameplay related microtransactions - which you can completely ignore as a consumer. I echo the sentiment of another comment here, saying that the market for "good" games never went away (really it's grown). Just open up Steam and read user reviews, it's pretty obvious when a game is a poor cash grab. But it's really not true outside of a handful of large bad actor publishers. There seems to be a commonly held opinion on HN threads like this that the gaming industry has failed beyond repair, and all AAA games are dark pattern riddled slot machines. ![]() Really if you ignore the 'axis of evil' publishers (Activision, EA, Ubisoft) /most/ AAA games are fine.Īlso in any single player Ubisoft game I've played (so mostly Far Cry and Assassins creed + Ghost Recon Wildlands (which is great btw)) the microtransactions can be completely ignored, none of their games are balanced around people spending money like mobile games are, nor is any meaningful content locked behind a pay wall unless it's in the form of a proper expansion/stand alone spinoff. See: FromSoftware, basically anything that was a Sony published PS4 exclusive (Horizon Zero Dawn, Spiderman, Days Gone, Uncharted, etc etc), Monster Hunter, Resident Evil, basically everything Nintendo puts out, many many more (honestly I could probably recommend like 50+ AAA quality titles released in the past ~5 years if I sat here thinking for a while, without predatory microtransactions (maybe a few would sell some silly cosmetic items but that's about it)). I notice the examples you're giving are all lower budget indie games, it's also worth pointing out that there's a /tonne/ of big budget games that also eschew this kind of nonsense. ![]()
