www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/132527-Pay-99-Cents-To-Make-Mario-Jump-Higher-Hedge-Fund-UrgesSeriously, Fuck that guy for thinking that Nintendo should do that. I'm still a bit peeved off about Bravely Default having microtransactions but at least it only one small thing in the game. Please keep your goddamn cheap ways of taking my money away from my consoles and my handhelds! You may have fully eclipsed the smartphone market with that shit but you will never EVER get far doing that kind of bullshit with real games, Just ask Capcom, EA, and Microsoft about that and you will know why......

Microtransactions work in multiplayer games. If it isn't pay to win who cares. If it is pay X and you get a higher Epic Drop rate in a dungeon than it doesn't matter in the long run.

Y'know, I usually avoid that AlphaOmega-guy (he's not exactly the paragon of well-researched news), but this time I wholeheartedly agree with him. Seriously, fuck that guy for coming up with this, fuck investors in general for only caring about short-term profit, and fuck any company giving in to this bullshit. Fuck 'em with a barbed wire dildo.
...
Yo! Nintendo! I got a better idea for ya! Pay 99 cents and an investor dies! I guarantee you your fans will be throwing money at you!

Then again, hedge fundy investors like him are nothing but a bunch of leeches that care about nothing but a short term profit and gleefully force a company to run itself into the ground as long as it means they can afford more cocaine 'n whores.

I heard about it yesterday.
Honestly, the more news i hear about shit like this the more i just keep thinking to myself "It's just corporations being corporations" I'm not saying this isn't bullshit, but with rise of the media and news websites and whatnot, people can now more easily see the bullshit companies are pulling. Even if Nintendo did give into this asshole everybody would just shun the game and Nintendo gets bad PR. Which is what happens when anybody pulls shit like this, nothing new.
Now i'm fully against this, don't get me wrong, but this isn't news that geniuenly upsets me. A corporation's job is to make money, however possible, and sometimes they feel the urge to go into shady territory to do that. I'm not saying i would like Nintendo to pull this bullshit, but it's still just corporations being fucking corporations.

I'm just not particularly fond of people that take a good idea and completely pervert it into a mockery of itself, especially if it's over the backs of other people. I tend to get passionate about that.

Do I need more proof that stuff like DLC and microstransactions has gone too far?
I was never a fan of these things because they simply take away a lot of enjoyment from the core game and force you to pay extra money for the content you want, which means that just buying the game isn't enough. I hate when corporations design the game in a way that you can't enjoy it without paying extra money, that's just too fucking greedy and it alienates gamers who can't afford to pay for that stuff.
I usually support most of Nintendo's ideas and try to look at it from a more positive perspective, but this is just a straight "Fuck no!" from me

They are like 20$ now.
