With news that states Dead Space 3 will feature microtransactions, I believe now would be the perfect time to discuss microtransactions in DA3. I do not want microtransactions in DA3.

Down with microtransactions


Actually EA has spoken on why they use microtransactions in their games

Neither do I. EA will nevertheless find a way to incorporate them. It's been a business platform for quite a while. My hope is that they're not especially intrusive.

[hexaligned]

You mean fluff DLC? Or those little "feast day packs" or whatever the hell those things were. My point being I'm pretty sure we already have this.

[Wulfram]

Not in the single player anyway, since that's what matters and is what I'm paying money for in the first place.

MP is just a silly bit of fun, so I don't care if they do what they did in ME3 - in fact, if it can make itself self financing then it should draw less resources away from what matters.

I too, would like to see no microtransactions. They can be game breaking, and can come off as greedy. I know you need to make money, but I'm sure you can find other ways.

Depends on the context. I see no problem with ME3's microtransactions (while I do have reservations against MP in nature). As long as it is kept out of the SP game entirely, feel free to go crazy with mini charges.

Then again, I grew up in the days of video game arcades, where you could burn through a dollar in cheap gimmicks in less than five minutes.

[Althix]

no. just no.
i am willing to pay for DLC, but pay for let say PSP in ME3? really? i am insane in some point but i am not crazy.
Also bf3 as example is rather poor one.

[Liamv2]

Microtransactions > pay for DLC

[Althix]

is that so?

[Liamv2]

Yes i think of it as people buying my DLC for me

Ha! A fairly accurate claim.

Micro-transactions, like those seen in Mass Effect 3, never really bothered me because I personally never purchased them. The main reason I played ME3 MP was to simply have fun, so I wasn't really in a hurry to obtain gear or other collectibles. Since you can still obtain those rewards without utilizing micro-transactions, I don't see the harm in that particular model.

[Ninja Stan]

If you don't like microtransactions, it is generally a good idea to not purchase them. They should not be required to enjoy or finish a game, but are available for those who want that sort of content. Seems like a simple enough deal.

I have no idea what microtransactions is.

[Sir George Parr]

It makes me nostalgic for a more innocent time in gaming, when i could put the game cartridge into my Atari 2600 without need for a microtransaction. If the format stays much like ME3 its not to intrusive and is optional if you want it.

Paying for additional ingame things with real money. DS3, for example, is selling weapon crafting components. League of Legends, Guild Wars 2, Team Fortress 2, and so on are examples of games that are based very, very heavily on them.

Fluff DLC like we got in DA:O, character outfits like in ME2/3, and relatively insignificant gear bundles I think are fine as long as it isn't advertised ingame beyond a ticker at the bottom of the title screen or something. I don't like the idea of microtransactions in a horror game, but I don't know enough of how impactful it is on the rest of the game to make a judgement.

I don't want them either. This is a single-player console/ PC game, not a free-to-play MMO or a bloody Facebook game.

How is it any different from all those DA2 and DA:O item pack DLC?

Personally, I never bought any of those, simply because I'm not interested in that kind of content. It never impacted my enjoyment of the game.

Waiting for someone to say that EA is wanting to have a microtransaction to reload our arrow quivers.

This is mostly how I look at it. If the microtransactions can support the MP mode as well as they seem to have with ME3 then the MP isn't much of a resource drain on the SP as it goes forward into DLC. Plus if the MP is fun and keeps people playing longer it perhaps translates into better SP DLC sales. It would be disappointing to see DA:I's DLC schedule cut short like DA2.

[FedericoV]

I do not want microtransaction for DA3 too. They are irreparably bad.

That's the only feature that could really push me out of the "wait and see" camp directly to "never going to play it" one.

They change the nature of the gaming experience for everyone.

If you want people to use microtransactions, then you have to manufacture occasions where a player could need them.

[Robhuzz]

This is the future of the gaming industry if companies like EA exist for much longer.... Sad indeed.

And we all know DA3 will feature them. Likely in the single player as well. And like federico said, the game play will be changed in such a way that people will at least be pushed towards microtransactions a bit, changing the gameplay experience for everyone, including the people who want nothing to do with those darn mictrotransactions.
