Why is calling out micro transactions in #VideoGames ok for some publishers but not others?
The number of people defending #Capcom for monetising fast travel in #DragonsDogma2 but who love to complain about micro transactions by EA, Ubisoft or Activision Blizzard is not an insignificant number. What's the difference?
Removing content from a game to sell it back to you is the same no matter who does it. Maybe its fanboy goggles or something.
