      The thing with microtransactions is that people actually buy it. And it makes gobs of money. We don’t deserve full games.

        Whales buy it. For every 1,000 fans upset by this decision there is 1 fan who is rich enough that spending $1,000 on the game is nothing. A lot of these aggressive monetization schemes aren’t meant to make money on the average player.
