    idiots who have more dollars than they do sense

    I suspect the people buying MTX for games that cost money are either individuals removed from making the money themselves, ie. children spending parent’s money, in a specific demographic (under 30, no kids), or live in an Asian country where MTX is normal like China / Japan, etc.

    Also, do not forget that mobile gaming has been around now for 16 years, and Mobile gaming is what opened the flood gates. Yes, Oblivion horse armor was the first DLC / MTX and it did sell, but parents today and for the last 16 years have been raising their kids by shoving an iPad / iPhone or Android tablet / phone into their child’s hands to keep them quiet. Young adults today were raised on MTX for games that cost money…

      It won’t be long before the MTX crosses from cosmetics to actual cut content. Want more levels past the first one? Pony up.
