He's happily see the games industry collapse in on itself so long as he got to claim some arbitrary high ground.

And nothing of value would be lost.

Death Stranding. No Microtransactions. Profitable enough to fund Kojima's next game.
Final Fantasy 7 Remake. No Microtransactions. Set a franchise sales record.
Last of Us Part 2. Bad game, but no microtransactions. 4 million sales and counting.

Then there's God of War, Horizon Zero Dawn, Mario Odyssey, Breath of the Wild, Nier Automata etc etc. The list goes on.

What are we losing again by leaving out microtransactions? At $70, I don't think these games would have suffered any if at all, and they would have actually benefited through more resources. Remember, each new generation costs more to develop for than the previous. If you want better games, you've got to pay for better games.
