Sammy and I spent about a couple hundred... Each... (Destiny)

by Anton P. Nym (aka Steve) , London, Ontario, Canada, Monday, October 23, 2017, 10:22 (2380 days ago) @ Malagate

Also, ME3 multiplayer was co-op, not competitive; the "pay to win" aspect of microtransactions grates a lot less when you aren't losing because of someone else dumping money in. (Indeed, some players might start encouraging others who are, er, "headshot-challenged" to dump some money in to address the deficiency...)

-- Steve thinks he spent maybe $10 on ME3 card decks and has huge sales resistance to this kind of thing. Maybe that's why he doesn't see microtransactions (particularly for esthetic items that have no play impact) as a big issue.

PS: yeah, I could see even this being a problem for folks with actual OCD though.
