It was easy for M$ to pretend to be pro-gamer with the 360 when Sony was suggesting people get a second job to afford the PS3. Nintendo didn’t help the situation by targeting the casual crowd either. I heard about Crimson Dragon being loaded with microtransactions as well, but Forza and Ryse were the key exclusives for the Xbone’s launch.

As a pessimist, I am interested to see how bad microtransactions get by the end of this generation. It took less than the full generation for DLC to get fucked up, and microtransactions are already off to a great start.

I’ve heard Crimson Dragoon is the same way on Bone. MS really has turned against the consumer. Its sad, considering how pro-gamer, they were pretending to be early on in the 360′s life cycle. I guess we have no one but ourselves to blame for buying xbox and xbox360 and expecting M$ not to fuck us the second they get the chance.

It is disheartening, discouraging, and angering to say the least.

Mel wrote an article a while back about how ‘value’ is no longer ‘what do I get when I buy this game’ but rather ‘what things will I be able to buy when I buy this game’.

This is a terrible state of affairs, but we now see what the next step in the logical process is for the greedy, awful developers.

I hate the video game industry.
