In a move that feels straight out of the "Did they really say that?" playbook, Ubisoft now claims that microtransactions don't just boost revenue—they actually make games more fun.
This is something only an out of touch suit with a buying addiction would say.
I don’t care about what people buy for themselves, but implying it enhances the game in any way is extremely stupid. This is why suits ought to stay away from videogames.
Don’t worry, this isn’t something they actually believe. They’re just trying to craft a narrative. I worked there for 5 years, and in that whole time nobody on the publishing end of the company said anything that even hinted at them giving a shit about fun.
