I’m both happy and conflicted by the use of the word “consummate”.

Whilst Sony and Nintendo were releasing critically acclaimed first-party titles, Microsoft has released games like Ryse: Son of Rome and Forza 5games that created the template for the landscape of the current AAA industry by helping normalize microtransactions in premium games near enough their infancy.

Sony doesn’t even pay these guys to spread FUD and lie on their behalf. This deal is making some people lose their damn minds, lmao.

And this is why Microsoft should call them out to their owners, to force these types of articles to be accurate, because this type thing shouldn’t be allowed to be printed as fact.

Didn’t the original TLOU released in June 2013 have micro-transactions for the multi-player? If so, that would be before Ryse and Forza Motorsport 5. Not to mention the fact that micro-transactions existed during the Xbox 360/PlayStation 3 generation. SMH.

It must be rough for these sub-par publications dedicated to worshipping PS having to run the rat race for the sake of ad revenue. Nev mind the fact they’re outright wrong…
