   @eamon @konnorrogers @thomasfuchs Yup. The massive monetization and micro-transactional obsession all the big devs have turns me off completely. I get that they need to make a profit, but there's a difference between profit and profiteering.

     @konnorrogers @thomasfuchs Games didn't use to be designed around getting as much money out of you as possible beyond the initial purchase price - that changed a lot over the years and imo has largely contributed to the problem, sadly.

     @thomasfuchs I feel this. I remember spending summers as a 12 / 13 yr old playing Diablo 2 with my brother and his friends.

     I used to play world of Warcraft with them up until WOTLK. I don't think gaming will ever capture me the same way again.
