Greedy gaming companies with their predatory microtransactions is the reason the gaming industry is on a downward spiral. The quality of video games has over the years decreased significantly which leads me to believe this could be the downfall of gaming.

HOLY SHIT ASMONGOLD REACTED TO MY VIDEO
Yip. And you already doubled your views in just a few mins. Probably more when his own YT comes out. Grats man. :)
Yup, I'm from boldly chanel. Good video mate
Helllll yea brother
here is your thumbs up, i am happy for you
Congrats!
This is why I've gone retro and embraced patient gaming. I haven't purchased a game at launch since the 2000's
I buy games from golden era instead of modern
@@Seeded335 same.
I take my own spin and I usually buy games when they’re on a fire sale. It’s been nice not fomoing every latest title since that means i get everything on the cheap end now
@@LordStrell True. Also old games are generally just better.
@Nurse_Xochitl agreed. I always just go for a what I like to call $5 or less buy, where if a game is on sale for 5 or less I get it. Mostly golden area games, with dlc included.
“Completely shitting on your hopes and dreams”.
Perfect summarization of companies incentivizing microtransactions.
The problem I have with micro transaction is that they’re putting all of their energy into the micro transactions and it’s making the game suffer
Because I understand, maybe putting a little bit of effort in budget into the micro transactions
But most games only put their focus on the micro transactions. The first thing to be up and running perfectly is the store. Meanwhile, you can’t even load into a game without crashing.
Even Fortnite the game that started battle pass has been slacking lately
Because recently they implanted multiple battle passes for multiple different sections, so instead of paying for one battle pass, you’re gonna be paying for three different battle pass
So instead of paying $15 a month you’re paying $45 a month
Games have gotten way to predatory with her micro transactions
It’s no longer about taking the profits from the video game to making a better game. It’s a boat using the profits to make more micro transactions.
Those microtransactions really bother me in video games, it's a absolute nightmare on how they ruin it because video game companies are greedy to want to make money, and people want to spend real money to get items and stuffs in order to progress in games, but the thing is, it's a waste of time, and it doesn't really help.
The only way is to ditch and remove microtransactions in video games for any video game companies to avoid and prevent people to not spend real money, which is a good sign.
time to go retro with pinball and retro arcade game zero micro transactions
@@GuitarsAndSynthsFACTS we need more higher level gamer with standards like us !!! F&*k modern fake gaming
Single player gamer to multiplayer gamer:
“Wow, sucks to be you.”
Nahhh I love single player games! Especially Skyrim, Witcher 3, Elden Ring!
It's cute that you assume single player games don't do this as well 😂
What I miss the most is couch gaming with the bros on Halo
dude you just hit me in the feelings
It’s funny nowadays me and my buddy hang out at his house and play online games right next to each other lol it’s still fun
I miss halo. 5 and infinite aren't halo games
Sometimes it feels like im the only person who has a problem with microtransactions when everytime i bring it up people start defending these games and say im just being negative im glad to hear you are bringing up the same points i always do also about cosmetic microtransactions because they ruin the progression system of the games
Yeah,I'm with you man.I miss when games were complete at launch instead of incomplete.I'm not into buying add ons for a game.So when destiny on ps3 told me to cough up $20 bucks to expand my adventure,I said I'm good chief.
I keep on hearing from those stupid people that support micro transactions they say to me if I don’t like it just don’t play the game
Well, I’m sorry if I actually enjoyed playing Cold War and other games that no longer have an active battle pass because I didn’t buy it on the day of release
Like these people who constantly support micro transactions are the kind of people with Gaming addictions
Because they probably spent thousands of dollars on clash of clans every month
GREEDY GAME DEVELOPER'S KILLED GAMING.
It's not the devs decision. It's the CEO's and marketing teams. The devs don't have a choice
Microtransactions created micro-aggressions; creating micro-depressions; creating decision fatigue; creating burn out. Which forced me to seek out new hobbies. Gaming needs another gaming crash to undo the damage.
And our diet chugging HFC drinks & processed foods. Then exposing people to technology. Is making most of society more stupid as the days go by. I feel like I'm getting dumber everyday.
Agreed. This stuff is in too many games Now
I am watching this after I had long conversation with my 7 yo son about Minecraft cash shop.
I struggle to find the right words half of the time and the topic change few times to others like "the value of money" and "what is to be the owner of something". Like how much real life necessity worth (buying food, paying bills), what you pay, what you got. How you are not the owner of pixel content in the games and could be taken away from you, how games use to be your own and you can buy and play them without rely on others (server, internet, permission). One of my triumph cards was to explain him that it's not about him. It's not that my reason to buy or not to buy something have anything in common of his behaviour (I don't punish him or rewarding him via this).
We talk about understanding "bad decisions" - the difference between me buying pack of cigarettes everyday but not buying flying cars in Minecraft or in general buying less video games compare to other stuff we buy.
We talk how eventually he will have friends and kids in school who have those (pixel stuff in popular games), how he can't explain to other kids why he don't and will not have those, no matter what. How you "hold the line" when your kids have emotional dmg because of how those bastards monetize the video games aim to kids? How parents fight corporations with hundreds of employees who are smarter than you (in this field) and all they do is to make your kids want to buy stuff? To "own" stuff. To have their identities based on pixel content. Ah yes we talk about that too. What is Identity, how we form it, what is our identity based on, why and etc.
Some folks help me with their content about transactions (can we call them micro anymore?),but honesty is not enough. It's different how adults handle this conversation and how is done between parents and kids.
Good video lad, now try to explain all this to any kid under 10 :)
I could use some help, for serious.
@@kostyasaushkin2450 download some mods and show him he can get better skins for free.
I’ll never forget 2017 and EA
The fact that I have played fifa and before you didn’t even need a high rated team before just to get some wins in fut champs or divisions
And now you have to either pay fit coins for fc 24 or get fc points to get packs and “pack players” (even though you may not) and then you keep on spending money on the game to get prime r9 just to get base Bobby Moore and even get some bad players just so you can keep on spending money on the game, it’s genius and cheeky but it makes games not fun and get horrible gameplay instead of how the game started, and then there’s the power curve that makes players high rated for no reason at all, like from fifa 17 to 20 there was an addition of only 4 promos, a healthy amount and then there were 5 promos added in fifa 21 and 5 more promos in fifa 22 and then they added 3 or 4 new promos to fifa 23 and then they added 2 new promos wich should be a healthy amount but at this point the game is already ruined with pay2wins and there’s no way of saving the game unless they remove some promos like fire vs ice,trailblazers,fc pro,winter wildcards, dynasties, thunderstruck or even radioactive, they would Ruin the game cause they are useless, there could just be totw,Toty,tots,ucl card, uel card, uecl card, Copa libertadores cards, Copa Sudamerica cards, recopa America cards and finaly end of the season cards, just 10 not 100 promos every week
Not to mention some useless sbc’s
1:01 the free helmets for this specific armour look better than the paid ones. Also the multiplayer is free, but I wish that you would get all battlepasses for buying the campaign because that's what you got in old halo games, all cosmetics for buying the game.
The Destiny franchise is also one of these games, I’d rather just buy a game than have a free one that has massive amounts of content behind a paywall
FUCKING LOVE THAT ENDING!! 😆 CLIP IT AND MAKE IT A SHORT SO WE CAN SHARE IT ALL OVER THE INTERNET PLEASE
WILL DO🫡🫡🫡
@@Fuzduf yes!
I never spend any money in any video game!
I eighter buy the game once if it is for sale, or if it is "Free-to-Play" then I just simply never ever spend any money on the game!
i never ever supported abusive money grabbing in general,and i pirate every recent game i can piracy is no longer a crime its self-defense.
exactly
I agree but, as for me, I never supported microtransactions. Heck, I never supported any game that has it. You know how I did it? Via playing ONLY the single player video games. But that is just a one way of how I did it. The other one is, by downloading "fully free" versions of the game, if you know what I mean. And only after those games got everything. Like all DLCs and stuff like that. The only games that I legally purchased in my entire life for the PC, is Assassins Creed 2, S.T.A.L.K.E.R - Clear Sky and game called Collapse. But I regret it for the AC2 because, it had that stupid Uplay dog shit that I had to kill via fan made fixes, just to play the game. But I don't regret anything about Stalker - Clear Sky or Collapse. Those games were interesting and I had a fun time playing them, thus why I don't regret my wasted money. Sure, there were also a games that I wish to get officially by buying them, which is what I figured out a lot later, but I'm not that rich, so I decided to save money for food and for buying something useful for myself and my close people, than just wasting them on video games that I would probably don't like.
In my honest opinion, the only reason I'll ever be okay with microtransactions is if the game is free to play and it doesn't give players blatant advantages.
I would agree too
Any advantage whatsoever, even "slight" ones and "sidegrades"... are all still P2W.
Also I don't support gambling.
Still not ok when they charge a shit ton regardless. Doesn't matter if it's free or not
I agree with most of the points you said, however there is one that is exaggerated and that is with Star Wars Battlefront 2. I'm huge fan of star wars so I've played it in beta and bought it right after the release. I've heard tons of people complaining about the lootboxes and it was frustrating to play against people who had maxed cards within a day. Move forward 4-5 days and I've had maxed cards as well as those who spent money on it... If I remember correctly, the most overpowered card was that increased radius of explosion for granades, so it was the first one I tried to max out and so I did.
Yea some characters (such as Vader) were so overpriced it was absurd, but they change it pretty quickly and learned from their mistake (kinda). And in the end, even if you had everything maxed it didn't mean you would win every game. It's 32v32 game. Only time you would win is with cheater (and there were a lot of them). Ofc at that time even small lootboxes were huge deal, but now we have sh*t like diablo immoral
tldr. = SWB2 hate is over exaggerated (doesn't mean it's not justified).
It's not justified to the extent of constantly being fed misinformation about, by people that haven't played it during launch. The only upgrade card you got maxed out with money was if you pre-ordered the game for the thermal grenade. But it wasn't broken realistically, to the average new player that are clueless they would walk into it and die to it.
But it didn't hold a candle to the Vanguard cards + survival training (whichever the one that gave you health on kill) which you had to grind for by playing the game.
In all honesty, there was a small few starcards that were busted for ground combat. The ground unit bonuses werent as egregious as the space combat cards. Those were next levels of unfair for sure.
The heroes cost was bad for sure, but if one played the campaign (which was short) you would have enough to get someone as high costing as Vader.
I saw you in the Colin and armor channel asking about the thumbnail noice
This video was very well done, I thought it was made by a bigger channel but this guy? Very underrated, keep it up!
Man.. none of this wouldve happened if it werent for games like Advanced Warfare having op guns locked behind crates.. like actual, full on guns that you couldnt get otherwise.
If the name “obsidian steed” gives you chills, you know why 😭
This shit was broken thats why COD was never good since the ps4 era everything got worse for call of duty yes even elitist veteran gamer admitted cod was decent to good at some point
Everything modern is pure trash
Came here from XQC watching it on twitch, thought channel would be much bigger but wow, this is well done
Thank you so much dude ❤️
I’m so glad Asmon reacted and enlightened me towards your content, love the humor and video style. Keep up the great work man!
Nba 2k is one of a prime example of sport pay to win
Okay not a bad video, you get a pass, sir
🫡 thanks dude
Can't you get the recon armor in H3 by buying all the map packs and completing a few challenge runs?
i raise you one further, one of my favourite games Call Of Duty Ghosts (im aware I am a very small minority who likes that game) but that has micro transactions out the wazoo, camos, special characters, skins for the default character, voice operators, a fucking wolf skin for the dog kill streak
I’ll raise you want even further the government wants nothing to do with intervening with these companies because they just said predatory loot boxes are illegal and basically nothing else
They haven’t made any kind of ruling in the video game industry ever since predatory loot boxes, and even then they still have predatory loot boxes in some games
Maybe these games wouldn’t be so predatory and literally break the laws if the government actually hold them accountable
Cause recently you, Visa is getting rid of the crew game that people paid $70 for
That has no single player they’re shutting down the servers because the games old and they want people to buy the crew two
That will get shut down in a few years
We definitely need the US government to step in again, but they won’t because they think they did such a good job getting rid of predatory gambling in loot boxes
But they don’t really care about predatory, business, practises or theft of the product from the consumer because they continue to believe that video games are a service not a product so you can take services away whenever you want. You bought that $70 game well too bad they’re gonna take away.
.
You spent over $1000 on micro transactions. Well we’re gonna take all your micro transactions skins away and keep your money.
Because they have the power to do that
They can literally take your micro transactions way, simply because they want to
And because it’s not a physical product and is considered a service not a good, it’s not considered theft
Your entire video game library could be deleted and it won’t be considered theft because you don’t have on your video games they are considered a service
Gaming Brother pls don't submit to this all money hungry gaming company
We deserve better than any microtransaction or loot-box
We are not they marketing-slave just buy every thing they sold
Totally BS, that Games-Developer does today.
Game in development for so long and then they are bugged as f... and you BUY a Game for ~70 €/$ with that? Microtransactions? In a Fullprice Game, no thanks!
Look at Diablo 4 lowes Price is 80€, but it suffered from lacking content (e.x. no Sets and no Runewords) and a useless Battlepass (most of the contet is for cosmetics).
Im so close to quit playing videogames (i play over 36 years videogames) for ever.
Maybe i should playing with LEGO again.
I hope the EU will ban Lootbox-Mechanics entirely.
Best regards from germany and thanks for this great Video!
Thanks so much!
@@Fuzduf thx for your Heart
EA has taken so much of my money thanks for reminding me
😂😂😂
Xqc aswell 😂 subbed good vid
Insanely good video quality and super entertaining, good job man!! Hope you'll rise high FAST!
100% agree because if the game company has any form of microtransactions in their games they will abuse it.
Came from the asmon vid. Glad to see someone talking about wiz's garbage pack system. It to this day utterly baffles me how the community blindly defends the shit they pedal, like you would think a $500 dollar virtual scooter would make more people privy to how scummy it's been getting but apparently not. Why improve a game when we can settle for mediocrity and cash grabs!
I LOVE ARAN
Micro transactions should be for cosmetics and dlc. NEVER should it be the difference between winning and losing, or fun and not fun.
Wrong. ALL Microtransactions should be 100% illegal
@@d.r.u.truth
(answer to title) Yupp, gaming is dead, no one games anymore, no games are created or bought.....what a load of bull
7:26 this part killed me, nice vid!
Dude Supercell games are just pay to win and it's just killing the f games, its sad
I see tons of videos like this and still can't understand why people continuously try to argue that gaming is 'dead' or its on a 'downward spiral'. The quality in the games that have come out this year alone has been incredible, some games are damn near better than Oscar winning movies in terms of story and visuals. With every amazing game you'll get 50 bad ones because the market is saturated all to hell but that doesn't mean gaming is dead, quite the opposite really...
One thing that pisses me off more than micro transactions is the fact that the US government doesn’t want to step in on predatory micro transactions because they stepped in with predatory loot boxes, and haven’t done a ruling since
Actually, the government been putting themselves on the back saying that they’ve done a good job making the Gaming space so much better for kids, even though they literally have so many other issues that they’re ignoring like predatory Gaming of micro transactions that create Gaming addictions and general addiction
And study show kids who are willing to buy micro transactions are more willing to gamble their money away when they’re old enough
So maybe micro transactions isn’t good because it teaches kids nothing about the value of a dollar because they think $15 is OK to buy for one fortnight skin
So they’re gonna think $15 for a bowl of soup is OK
Asmon sent me here. Congrats on getting this video going! Hilarious and accurate. Keep up the good work brother!

Blue prints and tokens in asphalt 8 and 9
Day 1 DLCs are so bad too, gaming sucks now
Honestly I cannot name a multiplayer game in 2020 and over that doesn’t have a ton of micro transactions
Any of those like fun little in the puzzle games
Because I have seen a few
Because most of them are not capable of putting micro transactions like two dots I don’t think they have micro transactions
ESO is more predatory then Gary Glitter
Good video, entirely agree with all the points front to back.
There needs to be legislation. Idk how but it needs to happen.
I miss the days when the only micro transactions that existed were $5-30 dollar DLC that didn’t add content that was supposed to originally be in the base game but add to it.
sad that asmon has 10 times the views with his bad opinions while the original is that low :/
Great Video Fuzduf! Love the awareness to Wizard101
Don't know why this ended up in my list. That being said, THIS is why I gave up on gaming, MICROTRANSACTIONS ... Especially when you're already paid $60 for the game itself.. (Talking to you too Nintendo.)
I don’t understand why all of these games with tons of micro transactions are relying on the 3% of the gaming population that they referred to as the whale that drops $500 a month on micro transactions but then the 90% of people who don’t buy micro transactions feel like they’re being screwed and ignored
*single tear rolls down cheek*
Saw this video on Asmon's stream. I think it's a good video - good job!
FINALLY OUR CHAMPION IS HERE.
This is why I still play only PC games and only old classics like Diablo 2, Wotlk, Baldur's gate, Planescape: Torment etc, or newer crowdfunded games which are microtransaction-free and are spiritual successors of the classics, for example: Pillars of Eternity, Planescape: Numenera.
Dragon Dogma 2 comes to mind!
Have you heard of Asphalt 9? You can literally spend over $1K and still not get one of the special legendary cars. Even if you do get it after spending your entire account balance, you will hardly be able to star it up. Glad I quit that game. It’s a shame cause the game is very fun and has amazing graphics but progression is very slow and requires a lot of grinding
That sounds terrible 😭
I will always stand by the belief that gamers could end this trend of microtransactions being jammed into everything if we just didn't buy them, but I guess we don't have the self control for that.
I bought the new BFII back on launch day. Ended up returning it the day after i bought it. Got into a fight with the manager at gamestop because they wouldn't let me return an opened game. Ended up charging back my credit card. Got all my money back and got the game for free. Never played it through.
I love Genshin Impact gameplay but I stop playing it because I hate the stupid grinding and RNG with money cancer it is.
Micro transactions are not worth shit so they are not worth buying
Good luck with your channel
Look at all the events that happened at the beginning of cod mw2022 till now and add that you list list! It's gotten so bad for cod players :(
Thank you for watching!
@@Fuzduf no problem! Just saw the asmongold video pop up! Congrats
I wish I could go back in time and never pick up a multiplayer game
I can proudly say i have never and will never pay for microtransactions. I even research DLC when i buy it just to make sure it has enough content to be worth investing in to. Im immediately skeptical of any game that is multiplayer and even mobile games will never get a dime from me. I was about to get helldiver 2 until i saw the micro transactions. My best friend is literally one of those whales for many games and he keeps trying to get me to play that stupid shit. No matter how many times i tell him no and how what he is doing is going to push companies towards making pay to play per hour he seems to think there is nothing wrong with it and I "just don't like good games"
When will games learn that The More They Take, The Less They’ll Have? I can imagine them trying to gain more money only to lose more.
same old talk, I wonder how many ´´why video games suck, why micro is fcking our fun blablabla´´ still nothing is gonna change, and the whole ´´speak with ur wallet´´ it´s just dumb to say cause most ppl don´t even use their own wallet.
Micro transactions using book printing laws of Bitcoin bookkeeping. Like, they are needing to have a physical book item printing number and receipt of burning/ destroying to ashes (stock brokers laws). (Same is true with expired objects? Clothes have expiration dates?). Such that video game publishers are enforcing the laws and ordinances of book keeping all micro transactions using printing of books. Would make interactive stories and roleplaying using decides fate physical book copies. And would make Bitcoins have honest value. (Cool with the story about the USPS suitcase electric skateboard cars (tootl?) About the laws and ordinances of driving records and vehicle and rode insurance. Like, the electric skateboard is like a gocart with add-ons like roll-cage and high-powered and so forth. Like it has a Bitcoin wallet and a mind of it's own and goes to different capitol cities, 'picks up shipments of books for book-keeping physical copies' and ships them.( High rollers and ankle biters? Ankle monitorer using person's and having to print out everything by books, is it a good thing or bad thing?). Regarding satellite drones and NASA and wanting to print everything out into books (every photograph of outer space and radio documents is made into a physical printed book? Hmm).).
Printing spare parts like "if you do that I'm going to do that..."
I loved the video, i made a comment there but his editor never reads them so i write it here aswell. I don't agree with Asmon saying that Star Wars Battlefront 2 backlash didn't matter because in my opinion it had a huge impact. I don't have facts to back this up but i'm like 1000% certain Jedi Fallen Order is a result of that backlash, there's no way they wouldn't try something with it if there was no backlash, but it were and we got a really good game because of that, who could've known.
Yeah It had a big impact actually because other companies drew back on their microtransactions to comply with new laws that were put into place to protect children from online gambling
Sadly it is exactly like this!
dude you are going to grow so big on youtube
Sup ya all, it's your boy, Asmonbald
That asmon timing was hilarious
You ALWAYS have some sort of choice. I have stopped playing and buying new time games. I only play retro games.
xQc reacted to you my dude
The Mobile Marketplace is completely FUCKED.
Nice! Well Done, Fuz.
I truly hope only kids pay for this stuff.
I can picture an actual adult paying 70 dollars for a game and THEN pay some more money only because the devs put artificial difficulty in their game.
It's actually sad.
Once in my life I brought game money in World of tanks.
And ever since I swore to never be scammed again ever, or this stupid game microtransations.
Came from the asmongold video, damn this was an amazing video. This was very well made and you got a great personality.
First Asmon and now xQc has reacted to your video. So cool!
Nintendo and Sony are the only AAA studios that I can rely on not having microtransactions (not counting DLC because that can actually be good)
This one of the many reasons why i love indie games because they don't do this type of bullshit 😊
came from xqc's channel this is a good video and you have earned a sub, made me laugh, good points. time to check out your other stuff
Thank you so much! A new video will be out in a few day too!
I 100% agree on this take 😂
What a masterpiece once again of the Duf.
This was really good, gj getting such a good reaction out of asmon.
This has always every gamer's *worst nightmare*
New gaming era is trash
Sony is going full live service
Im going to play gta 4 instead of that gta 6
Came here for Lube recommendations... Anybody?
honestly, well spoken
Indie games has no 💵
Indie games are da kings
I feel people who spend more money get advantage. Any shooter games that you have gun skins and outfits. That's going against a free 2 play player. Both players on the same caliber skills the pay players wins 75% of the time. The creators of these games bill gates, the Facebook guy with the meta quest Sony. They have programmed the system to understand the players spending money will stop spending if they are not winning
Can we go back to earn a Balut box systems because I have no problem with having the choice to buy a loot box for cosmetic skins or earn them for cosmetic skins because this whole notion that you have to buy a bunch of boxes to get the skin you want you don’t just play the game and earn your loot boxes for free until you get the skin you want or enough duplicate coin credits
To buy it that’s what I did with overwatch before they turned it into a battle pass
I enjoyed the loot box system in overwatch, but because the predatory loot boxes people basically thought they were predatory, but they weren’t overwatch has one of the least predatory loot box mechanics
Because you know what is a predatory loot box mechanic, not having your loot boxes, able to be earned and giving your people who get the new boxes with money get an advantage Star Wars battlefront two what is a predatory game?
And that’s why they went to court but now the government doesn’t wanna do anything about other games being predatory
Game- has microtransactions in it
Me- I don't buy it
simple.
Well played dude👏
Spend those money on quality copium right, You deserve it, it waa actually good video👍
Microtransactions would be ok if the cost of gaames went down 50% No even then it would be too much... the problem is that smalll kids who dont understand the value of money will continue to buy stuff to look cool in a game
