Creepy seeing people lining up to defend this shit. Microtransactions are inherently scummy. Springing them on players post-launch is moreso.There are no good microtransactions. https://t.co/kCWXeJ98NP— Commander Stephanie Sterling (@JimSterling) April 7, 2023
Resident Evil 4 remake doing naughty things so sayeth the Commander.
All the people in the comments coming up with situations where some poor overworked soul with no time to game (one comment said "someone who only has 1-2 hours a day to play games", lmao) and needs this or else they'll never see the upgraded weapons. Everyone ought to experience the whole of the game. A very egalitarian argument, yes yes.
Okay but... What about the overworked people who ALSO don't have a bunch of cash to drop unlocking things in the game they already paid 60 bucks for? Don't they also deserve to experience the whole of the game? Why is Capcom charging money for this at all if it's just a wholesome consumer-first action?
Back in my day, if we wanted to cheat, we inputted something like X R2 Triangle Square X X while on the main menu and got unlimited weapon upgrade codes. People are acting like giving these things out is taking them from some reserve Capcom has.
God. I go back on twitter for ONE thread on something as irreverent as video games and already I feel pissed off at how stupid people can be.
Its almost as if gamers think there isn't an alternative like, IDK, not making game objectives so grindy that there is little to no possibility of achieving it unless you spend an ungodly amount of hours playing. But of course, the grind is part of the experience to them and taking it away would water the experience down and make it too "casual".

yeah we used to have a solution to this and it was called cheat codes

Lol reminds me of the arguments about how WOW level packs are good because it’ll let poor working class people skip 2000 levels in order to play the good content instead of just, you know, getting rid of old shit and just selling the good content in the first place

Fuck. I wish I had 1-2 hours a day to play games. I’m lucky to get in a couple of hours a week
