I don't know about you chaps but I absolutely detest the modern approach companies have with their franchises and games.

I remember you'd get the game on disc and that was it. Or maybe a expansion to go with it which improved it 100%

An example would be say the mortal kombat games, you used to be able to have all the characters or Unlock them. But now you gotta pay up to 100% the game if you want everything.

What rustles your jimmies lads?

Thank you!

I haven't bought a game with microtransactions in several years, even if I was interested in the game. I know my resistance probably doesn't accomplish much, but I simply refuse to support that business model. I don't want to put up with pressure to pay "just a little bit more". Day 1 DLC isn't a guaranteed gamebreaker for me if I already really want the game, but it definitely reduces my interest and I've passed over several games before because of it.

I wholeheartedly support expansions so long as their content justifies their pricetag.

It does. Besides not giving that game your time and money, you're instead putting it in some other game that's making what you want, and they probably need your time and money more to keep doing that.
