I don’t find myself “engaged,” I find myself wanting to spend money for something that will bore me the next week.
There is a reason I’ve mostly played single player games for the past decade.
I was tired of the “seasons” and micro transactions when I just wanted a story. If the story was good, I’d be ok with purchasing an expansion upon it. I remember my first expansion pack, Warcraft 2, played over a phone line. It felt worth it.
For more modern games, The Witcher 3 DLC felt like proper expansion packs. I have no bad feelings about those.
But just adding a few cosmetic items? Fuck off.
Front Right: Keys, wireless earbuds, active nicotine packet container.
Front Left: Eckster Wallet, spare nicotine packet container, phone.
Back Right and Left: Utility Spots, used as needed.
Right Pocket Watch Pocket: CRKT CEO knife, if off the clock, THCa pen (legal in my area)
