There is Never A Good Reason To Put Microtransactions in a $60, Singleplayer Game

...that’s not the world we live in. The industry is completely incapable of moderation, entirely devoid of shame or self-reflection. They took what could have been a revolutionary pricing model and corrupted it into the nickel-and-dime, casino-style scam we know today.

But most concerning is when microtransactions end up in singleplayer, full-priced games. These aren’t games that require ongoing support at high costs. These aren’t free games that need an additional source of revenue. These are games we purchase for $60, with the expectation that they’ll be more or less complete.
