The abusive, fun-killing nature of microtransactions will lead to either a walk-away of platforms that allow them, or politicians will legislate to limit that commercial practice, crashing the ''IT'S TOTALLY NOT A GAMBLING ADDICTION MONEY SUCKING SCHEME'' studios.
How would you deal with the non-gambling based microtransactions which are just as common? Nothing kills a game for me like having to pay the full release price again to remain competitive.
I go play something else untill they release their "deluxe expansions included multipack bundle value +" blabla the actual full game at a discount.
Or sailing the Seven Seas.
Dosen't work for MMORPGS though.
I doubt there is a legal way out of rip-off "expansions". They will just release those as "Whatever Adventure 2! With compatibility to your progress in W A 1!"
