So they make boring games on purpose, and charge you (extra!) money to activate the fun in the game. That's fucking insanity. Boycott that model, right now.

It didn't even require a boycott for me. I think plenty of people like the repetitive stuff, so they play it all without thinking about the microtransactions. I was never once tempted to pay for them, so my feelings about the game represent what the game is like without paying for them, and it was a poor experience. So rather than a boycott, it's just not buying games that I don't like.

Makes sense.

By the way, I like your punny username. 😄👌
