True, but not for the people playing the games.
Of course they do.
Goodbye, ubisoft. I’ve long parted ways with you, you just didn’t notice it yet.
Nothing more fun than paying for a game piece meal and without end.
If microtransactions are part of gameplay, they always lead to grind design that pushes to purchase to avoid the grind. If gameplay is fun without grind, why would anyone buy microtransactions.
Cosmetics can be done well with transactions, but those are near non-existent today. There was few in the beginning, but probably they don’t sell enough for corporate overlords.
… for them.
they make the games more fun for them.
Ubisoft can pay me $1000 a month to play their games. Customers as a Service actual makes your business more fun.
So do monthly subscriptions and unfinished releases!
People can’t get enough of them, every company is forced to make shitty subscription ai smart service these days.
In the sense that gambling addictions and dopamine rushes are fun, then sure.
Not to mention ripping Pokemon boosters, Sonny Angels, and Labubus.
