As always in capitalism, video games have largely deformed from an art form into just another means to generate profit for large corporations
Where I would love to see micro-transactions be a thing is news articles, videos, and other creative works. I'm happy to pay for someone's work, especially if I'm not paying a bunch of overhead to some shitting credit card company. At the same time, I have no wish to pay for a $20 monthly subscription for the local newspaper in Middleofnowhere, Montana just so I can read one article.
