Reader Discussion: Are Microtransactions Really A Problem?
Today EA announced that all future projects would feature microtransactions, which has made many gamers irate. But does the move really affect how you play your games?
Of course, there are different layers to the problem. Are all microtransactions bad? Are they okay if you only use them in single-player?
It's not a black-and-white issue, but the future of microtransactions ultimately comes down to consumers and what they decide to support. What kind of microtransactions are okay with you? What is going too far? Share your thoughts in the comments below.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
