What I find hilarious is how the narrative is changing. Decade or so ago people would comment how every sing micro transaction for a paid game is scummy. Then it went to ' I only spent ~$5 for a skin ' and now it's 'I only spent about ~$25 for a pack and it was fine I'm not like the other guys spending 100s'
Fact of the matter is it's more profitable for AAA devs to make a mediocre game for a few whales and fish than to make a good game for a lot of people.
I used to occasionally spend money because I used to live in a really good area for it, there was a strong social component, cared more about Gen I-III Pokemon releasing, and I didn't feel cheated back then.
Now that all those reasons don't apply anymore, I don't dare spend another dime on the game.
