I can understand looking back at arcades with nostalgia.
Using them as some sort of smartass justification for microtransactions is asinine. The two aren't really equivalent. It would be more like if you bought an arcade machine for your house and then still had to feed quarters into the motherfucker to play it.
I've said it before, and I stand by it---I'd rather pay $80 for a new game than see microtransactions stuffed into everything. I don't think they're the death of video games, and I don't find most of them particularly offensive (although the post I just made illustrates why I think Destiny 2 could be a stronger game without them).
