Re: Talking Point: Nintendo's Plans for DLC and Microtransactions Point to Changed Priorities

Thank GOODNESS someone else noticed this. No matter the company micro transactions don't benefit the consumer UNLESS it's properly released DLC that comes out a month or so AFTER release (e.g. Mario Kart 8 and somewhat Hyrule Warriors).

If Nintendo were to release a season pass/bundle of ALL Smash micro transactions I'd support it, but DON'T nickle and dime me with stupid costumes. I was really excited for those costumes until I saw a price associated to it.

Unfortunately Nintendo is apparently adopting the methods of the competition, not only with paid DLC, but also little figures that add on content. Sometimes it works out well for the consumer, other times it's a travesty compared to the company from the last decade that I supported no matter what.
