By skyforbes Obviously mircotransactions and lootboxes suck to a lot of people, but let's get very specific!
For me, the following makes me instantly roll my eyes:
Shooter game with skill/character upgrades. An upgrade called pistol master is available. Instead of it being something like: "You can now dual wield pistols" it's:
"For every 3rd headshot you get without dying, you have a 25% chance to decrease your reload speed by 50% for 8 seconds"
I don't even care if that scenario is objectively better than having a second pistol, it's not fun, and to be frank, I think it's a lazy way to do skills in a shooting game.
