Microtransactions are among some of the most controversial things in gaming.
Buying into a microtransaction is a lot like taking a knife to a gunfight.
And that’s a lot, given the simplicity of the product.
Typically, aStuff Packwill cost you between $15 and $20.
The problem is, the money spent doesn’t really boost the overall experience.
So, quite clearly a myriad of sneaky cash grabs and nothing more.
Let’s take one of the loftier Shark Cards, for example.
Did you know that a card with an in-game value of $8,000,000 will cost you $100?
Seems like enough to get by with, for sure.
The fact is, though, it isn’t anywhere near enough to stay ahead in the rat race.
DLC (Battlefront)
Battlefrontwas one of the most bare bones online multiplayer games to ever disgrace the system.
But the months leading up to that moment, however, were disgraceful even by Electronic Arts' standards.
A typical Season Pass will cost you anywhere from $70 to $100.
It’s a risk, and an expensive one at that.
