What do they mean by microtransactions?

[ikarop]

It's when you pay a small amount of money (micropayment) in exchange of some game goodies. Usually stuff that helps you with the game or helps you unlock stuff early. Points, gold, experience, etc...

Like the Dead Space 3 or the AvP Evolution

Oh, I hate that crap! Gimicks to make more money. I wouldn't expect this game to have ever done that. Now create a DLC later on for a charge, yes they should do that.

Yup, when I was a kid you played the game to unlock that stuff.

Our children will laugh when we tell them we could unlock costumes in vidja games, and we'll cry in despair as we see them take 20 dollars off of our wallet just to be able to choose a different color for their character's pants.

Lol the good old days.

I remember, before online updates, when games actually had to be finished before they could release them...

[Corporal Hicks]

Ha. I remember patches in PC Gaming magazines!

[Vertigo]

Yup. Underdeveloped, incomplete or bug-ridden launches are as old as gaming itself. Remember ET? KOTOR2? Hidden & Dangerous? At least we usually get patches for the bare basics now.
