Microtrangressions indeed.
I’m a little annoyed that the article regarding microtransactions did not include the amazing, now EA title, Real Racing for smartphones. I’ve already done my rant regarding this product. I will mention again that had I not asset hacked the game completing it would have cost at least $550, More than enough to buy a set of racing tires for my real race car.
Pokemon Go. I’m not the least bit surprised it is employing the microtransaction model.
I strongly suggest Ingress.com as an alternative. This game has existed for 4 years. It is infinitely more sophisticated, challenging, mature and completely charge and ad free.
Unlike the PoGo interlopers. We Ingress Agents have been discreetly operating among you everywhere for years now (yes, where you work, shop and play) saving the world from Exotic Matter falling into the wrong hands.
