Microtransactions can go die in a fire. There is no reason that there should ever.....evereverevereverEVER, be any form of microtransaction in a price release. I don't care if you pay 60 bucks or 10, if yo bought the game at the asking price you are entitled everything that game has to offer without micropenises. It is okay that a player needs to put in work with the game to see/get everything within, and not every player will do that, but that is okay too.
DLC is kind of a mixed bag. I am okay with big sprawling DLC's like the past two DLC's for the Witcher 3. Dlc that comes across as expansion packs are fine. But DLC to unlock characters already on the disc at release? Fuck you CAPCOM!
Things that are okay: (basically things here that take months of extra development, and can't logically be earned in game)
Map packs
Expansion packs. (new levels, characters, story missions, etc)
Things that are not: (anything that required minimal effort to create and has no excuse not to be put in the game for free for players to earn as a form of progression)
Character costumes (no reason for a player not to be able to get alternate outfits for characters in game, this is what achievements should be for)
New weapons (Adding a new AK-47 in a shooter shouldn't be a paid item, but rather something earned through gameplay)
Skippable content (This is a new microtransaction we've seen recently. Namely Forza in which you can just pay an extra 50 bucks to unlock everything in the game, removing all forms of progression possible in the game which defeats the point of the FUCKING GAME!)
