microtransactions just got worse

[melodicmizery]

just read some kind of patent finally was settled from activision that was filed a few years ago that if im understanding it right, people can pay for upgraded dlc guns that are overpowered and the patent will then match less skilled players with over powered players with the dlc guns in order to sway people into buying them to be more balanced. i really cant see this catching on to much because as it is in a game like battlefield for example if a gun is overpowered the community will complain about it to the point of it being modified. i cant see players staying to play games that do this im sure the games will most likely die out fast. but just knowing that they filed it seems like theyll prob try it, or prob wanted to try it before. it was in a article in the new gamestop magazine this month

This was mentioned some time ago. Activision confirmed it wasn't in any current games, but of course, who knows about the future.

And this is why I like to try and stick to SP-heavy video games. I think multiplayer games will eventually be unplayable to me because of nonsense like this.
