This StarCraft developer looks back on one of the biggest frustrations of his career! He mightn’t stand what players did in World of Warcraft. The Daily, here we go!
For a while now, micro-transactions in video games have taken up a lot of space. World of Warcraft is no exception! And according to this StarCraft developer, players who accept it are “morons”. He recalls that in 2010, at the launch of one of the MMO’s first microtransactions (a sparkling frame for 25 euros), purchases in the first seven hours would have brought in $3.5 million. This sum is more than what StarCraft II has generated in seven years. It was this data that frustrated the man, and pushed him to speak out regarding microtransactions: “You wonder why these companies make microtransactions? Because idiots keep buying them all.” The Daily is over!
