There are so many holes in this analogy it makes my head spin.

As a kid with a very limited allowance, arcades SUCKED. I can count the number of times I got the opportunity to play an arcade game on one hand.


"This is a bad analogy because I personally didn't get to play a lot of arcade games!"

No, it's a bad analogy because it implies continuously pumping quarters into arcade machines is somehow the Superior Game Experience™

On top of that, if you have the necessary funds these days, you can buy a machine outright. You're done. You can play the game to your heart's content, and at never have to worry about paying the publisher for content in the game again.


"Arcades don't count because if you have a lot of money these days, you can just buy a machine and take the quarters back!"

What do you mean "arcades don't count?" It's a flawed analogy.

If games with microtransactions had a "gold" version that got you every optional thing without having to worry about spending another cent, I could totally see myself buying that. But they don't. They put a question mark on the price tag, to hide how ludicrous the cost of all these extra cosmetic and booster items actually is.

Not really picking up on a single thing remotely resembling an example that would explain how rev's post is anything close to a bad analogy... Denial is a terrible thing, Cyber, but whatever lets you feel justified; at least you stand by your principles, misguided though they may be...

I get that you enjoy putting people down- here on the forum, and in game- to make yourself look better by comparison, but don't you think you're laying it on a little thick?
