  • This has been happening for years. Shadow of war (2017) had orcs in loot boxes, every assassin’s creed since, and including, black flag (2013) has had microtransactions in some form, odyssey (the last one I’ve personally played) had a rotating cash shop in every city. I know it’s another Ubisoft game but farcry 5 had cosmetic microtransactions in a game that is permanently in first person. You could only see your outfit on the change outfit screen. This comment isn’t meant to come across as antagonistic but I do find it strange to be warning about a slippery slope when we’ve all been riding the toboggan for years.

    I can understand getting hyper-focused an MMO, because they try to pile in all kinds of content: quests, raids, dungeons, professions, seasonal events, exploration, PvP, PvE, etc. But, Fortnite and LoL lack a lot of those features.

    The one criticism I’d say you can’t make about fortnite is a lack of content, every season they add a completely new gameplay feature then remove it next season, right as it gets stale. There was a season where you could just be Spider-Man and web swing around, a season where there were planes and dogfighting, a season where you could get the infinity gauntlet and be thanos. Plus some others but I don’t play the game so I only hear about it second hand.
