Wii Warm Up: Microtransactions
Don't get us wrong -- we're not against downloadable content by any means. Yet, the way in which microtransactions were presented during the
WiiWare launch for games like
Lonpos and
My Life as a King seems really ... cheap. And by cheap, we mean the DLC is a total cheap shot, because it's actually
expensive. Take Square Enix's title, for example, which released
$13 worth of downloadable content on its first week. Yes, we're familiar with the "If you don't want it, then don't buy it" argument (and we
won't), but all of that just sours us on the game in general.
What do you think, though? Are we being to hard on
Lonpos and
My Life as a King? Or, is there a wrong and right way to present DLC? Then again, it could also be possible that you don't support
any microtransactions. Share your thoughts in the comments below.
