That's sort of a silly complaint though.
If you have 50 BTC in your wallet, 24 hours later you'll... still have 50BTC in your wallet.

If I exchange my dollars for euros (or yen or GBP) and back again the next day, I might find that I've lost quite a bit of my "investment" in a short period of time.

You can, of course, claim that the value of a bitcoin isn't stable enough (which will be less of a problem as more people start using it), or that you think it'll become worthless at some point, but such criticisms can be leveled against any currency.

Actually, the system has been designed to reduce the production/time to 50% of what it used to be (25BTC instead of 50BTC/10 min IIRC) pretty soon.

Another game lost to MTX...

If this is "the future of MMO gaming", I'm glad I got out before I had to see it firsthand.

"Reading player emotions [and sending all the data straight to Sony's marketing department and anyone else willing to pay] will be a key feature"

I decided not to buy D3 a long time ago. At this point I'm just having fun watching them come up with even more reasons to keep me away.

Of course I'm not going to buy a product that makes use of a method of limiting customer rights in a way that I am personally and professionally opposed to.

Would you?

(This is all assuming the DRM won't actually impact anyones gameplay experience. Good luck with that.)

And then those people had only themselves to blame when they got scammed or banned.

Blizzard is now officially condoning and even facilitating players buying in-game power for real money. That is an extremely significant decision and one that I am very sad to see.

Like the OP, I will not buy or play any game featuring MTX. I feel that once you take that first step towards "the more money you give us, the more stuff we give you in-game", it fundamentally changes the feel of the game even if it's something as relatively innocent as a purely cosmetic hat. There is also the fact that every single time a game starts using MTX, within a relatively short amount of time all the oft-mocked slippery slope predictions turn out to be completely accurate.

Bad reviews will cost you sales. Insidious psych 101 scams don't put people off in the same way that "this game sucks" does.

I would put DLCs in the same group as microtransactions WRT the OPs statement. Not all, mind you, but most.

...and there goes any excitement I had about renewing my sub once the expansion went live.
I suppose with the PLEX (and that damn "strategy guide") people were already able to buy stuff in-game for real life money, but this is just so damn... blatant. I don't know what else to say about it.

One by one I see games and series I love succumb to the lure of microtransactions and pay-to-win while I stand by telling myself that there will always be another game to take it's place.
I suppose I should just stop being so damn melodramatic and just accept that the hobby I fell in love with years ago just isn't the same anymore.
Maybe once I finish reveling in nostalgia I'll go read a book or something instead...

"We have to go into space right now because the planet might possibly be destroyed by a hypothetical asteroid that could maybe hit us at some point in the near-or-not-so-near future maybe. Why are you just standing there? RUN!"

I agree that it's in our best interest to spread into space at some point, but some people are acting like our planet is at most a couple years away from complete annihilation or something...

(Yet another reason to pirate it)

They banned people based on this?!

Unfortunately I already own GMod, but I sure as hell wouldn't have bought it after they pulled something like this.

To all the people trying to get this app banned: Fuck you.

No, I'm not even going to bother posting AC.

Fuck you for trying to censor someone else's opinion, no matter how offensive or batshit insane.
