Micro Transactions in Games

[Redstone]

Do you like to buy cosmetics or additional resources in games. How often do you make in-game purchases? Have you calculated how much you normally spend per month through microtransactions? What do you buy, cosmetics or resources? What are the games where you make most of the purchases?

I do like them, but it shouldn't be too much in a way that I end up spending much just because I want to compete in a game. I have spent money on the GTA series, NBA games and others and the aim was to truly have fun playing those games.

I have also spent money on micro transactions, sometimes for cosmetics, sometimes for resources, and sometimes to level up. Microtransactions can make the game interesting.

Microtransactions can be useful but also frustrating. I’ve played games like Fortnite where optional purchases enhance cosmetics without affecting gameplay, which feels fair. But in some games, they create pay-to-win scenarios, which can ruin balance and enjoyment for players who don’t spend money.

From my perspective, microtransactions can be useful when they fund new content and updates, but I often find them frustrating. When a game feels pay-to-win or constantly pressures me to spend, it takes away from the fun.
