    No, I meant the overall quality of games has not gotten better since the introduction of microtransactions as an industry wide concept.

    And that tracks with how I play games. The majority of games I play were released prior to 2015. I don’t play competitive games, multi-player games, or any of the kinds of games that are usually full of microtransactions. I never have. The few games I do play from the last few years are ones that lack microtransactions.

      I can’t follow this. At what point did it become and industry wide concept? You are talking about buying games that don’t have them. I have played many new games that don’t have micro transactions (unless we’re including expansions).

      And I have not said that micro transactions have made games better, just that it’s better for me because I don’t have to pay.
