Free to play games make me feel dirty like I'm being used
Wait til you hear about this thing called capitalism.
Even if you're not buying any microtransactions, you're still being used.
I mean you’re playing the game, aren’t you simply paying in an unconventional way? You can’t pretend to think that you playing a game you paid nothing for is bad for trying to extract something in return?
That being said, games where you pay for the game and still have a ton of microtransactions to actually enjoy most of the content of the game are just highway robbery.
