I was in the P99 IRC a while back, someone was telling me how much he had made from Diablo 3... the game didn't seem to go down well with players. As a Diablo fan (who's never played D3) I find it sad that Blizzard had to trial that system on Diablo.
If its fun to accumulate whatever it is you're selling for cash, then that's great... but you have to wonder how deep people's pockets go, or whether there's some spoilt little shits out there with daddy's credit card.
Worryingly I think, is that kids will grow up not knowing what it was to buy a game that was complete without additional DLC or pay2win options in it. Companies like EA will sucker more and more people in just through the fact that people begin to consider it "standard practice".
For us long time gamers (assuming most people here are in their mid-20s or older), we either pay up or our choice of titles becomes increasingly limited. But that's why we love emulators like P99, right?
