With the release of the online beta for Red Dead Redemption 2, the topic of micro-transactions popped up again. Why? Because gamers don't understand that companies want to make as much money as they can. And they don't understand another simple solution to the micro-transaction "problem": Just don't buy the extra content. PROBLEM SOLVED!
No one forced you to buy the game. And no one's forcing you to buy in-game content. You can simply play the game and just suffer without the extra content, you feel you "need" in order to play the game. There is the solo game that doesn't require any additional money, AT ALL! Rockstar Games isn't out to get ya. You just need to learn self-control. Or just don't buy the game at all if you feel the temptation is just too strong.
The micro-transaction trend with games and apps is unearthing an underlying problem that people aren't even addressing. Personal responsibility. YOU are the only person to blame if you buy in-game content outside of the initial game purchase. YOU and only YOU. You can choose to not buy it. It really is that simple. If this stings, then maybe you should do some personal reflection. Because I'm not wrong. There is no "Micro-transactions Are Your Fault...Change My Mind" booth setup. These are the facts. So just let the information sink in.
