I have to say the missle glitching in ME3 got me thinking. These problems need to be solved because they deincentivce EA from putting microtransactions in their games. This is unacceptable since that means that I can't instantly be the maximum level in a game just because I have lots of money. I don't want to spend 50 years wasting time just to be able to get everything in the game. In addition, microtransactions have enabled games to earn more money than from regular dlc. Regular dlc stops making money after it is bought. Microtransactions allow games to keep earning money for a long time. Can you imagine how much of a better game DA2 would be if there were microtransactions, or imagine how much less dlc we would have for ME3 without microtransactions. Microtransactions are the future of gaming and I support EA in whatever they choose to do.
EA microtransactions have saved gaming

So apparently making more money for the game so we can get more support for the game plus some new freebies is bad now? Typcial BSN. If there weren't microtransactions in ME3, would we really have free multiplayer expansions like Retaliation? I don't thinks so. Also, Dead Space 3 allowed microtransactions with real money and in-game money so if you like grinding things you can still buy things to get stuff. Why do people not celebrate this new way of supporting games?

You forgot to mention Dead Space 3. There are also micro transactions in that game. And those ruined the game, it's either find stuff to upgrade your weapons or pay to upgrade them. In SP. That's some major BS IMO.

"Typical BSN"
Well, that's not inflammatory.

False. Microtransactions give devs more money which means they have more cash to make new dlc's to make the game better or to contribute to the next game. You buy a regular dlc, the devs don't make money after you buy it. With microtransactions, devs can keep earning cash. Imagine if the ME3 MP had no transactions, so we wouldn't have any of the expansions or we would have to pay for them.

Because we all know that hundreds of hours of griding or paying real money should be the only way to unlock content in games, right? What did developers do before this idea I wonder?

Let me rephrase. Having a bigger budget doesn't ensure your game will be good. Thus, stating that implementation of microtransactions will undoubtedly lead to better games is simply not true.

They made you grind. I'd rather use some cash to skip the grinding and get to the action right then and there.

Having a bigger budget will allow studios to further continue supporting good games. ME3 wouldn't have free dlc without those microtransactions. Also, a bigger budget allows studios to experiment and not be harmed by any dip in revenue. More money acts as a cushion for the devs.

IMO, anyone who purchases microtransactions in a multiplayer game in order to bribe their way to victory should have a massive arrow over their player character at all times reading "CHEATER RIGHT HERE", so everyone will know he's a cheap bastard, and the opposing team can find him more easily.

That is true, but it doesn't mean the content will be better, it has the potential to become better because of more budget, but it's up to the developers to execute on that.

How so? What if said person has no time to actively be playing the game to get to a certain level, kids, work, etc, but to enjoy the game at the individual's terms, they want to purchase it, so they can have fun. If anything, skill will always triumph players who "buy" to get better.

Anyone who doesn't use microtransactions should be penalized for not supporting the game. I could have bought something else but I decided to spend my money on the game and thus support the developers multiple times. Anylone who doesn't have microtransactions should get a cheapskate banner and let everyone know that they are cheap and thus not strong enough in multiplayer=]

Microtransactions are a blight on gaming.
