In hindsight, I might've gone too far to lump it in with the sport games.
While I was thinking about this during the day, Korny's Favorite Game(tm), Warframe, has exclusively funded every single expansion (and the last one is simply massive, I think even you, Cody, would consider it an expansion) with microtransactions. IMHO, they did tone the pacing of the game for worst to justify its particular brand of microtransaction (you accelerate weapon/armor build time [rated from hours to days, depending on your choice]). The game itself is completely free and you don't need to spend a penny to do anything. Grind for materials is real, but I don't think you can buy your way out of it, except by trading with other players for completed wares, where you can throw in premium currency.
