The worst video by games aren’t the ones with micro-transactions. I’m not excusing them—just saying they’re not the worst.
The games that are actually the worst are those games that exist so that achievement hunters can get 500+ achievements just by launching the game. You see, those games just use flipped assets and outright plagiarism. Too often, they’re unplayable.
You see, these shitty games don’t exist because some bean counter at Ubisoft wants to nickel and dime gamers. Not at all. These shitty games exist because some guy in Russia has figured out that Steam, itself, is the game that achievement hunters actually want to play.
