Harder to ignore (Destiny)
In a particular example, the junior player may wish to become an expert sniper in a game (e.g., as determined from the player profile)," according to the patent. "The microtransaction engine may match the junior player with a player that is a highly skilled sniper in the game. In this manner, the junior player may be encouraged to make game-related purchases such as a rifle or other item used by the marquee player. "
Honestly, I don't see this as a big deal. This is already the culture that surrounds the principle of micro transactions. Someone buys a perk thinking it will make them better. The person who would do this doesn't need to be led to that decisions because of a patented algorithm. This is one of those stories where, we all know how it works without it being said...this story is just saying it.
