10 Times Video Games Ripped You Off

10. The Megaphone - NBA 2K19

Expect microtransactions to be a common element on this list. If you have to pay extra money, no matter how minuscule, for ANY content in a game you paid full price for, then it had better be worth it at the very least.

Charging $50 for a stupid megaphone in a $60 game is not worth it.

Sports games have the rest of the industry beat when it comes to squeezing as much money as they possibly can from their players. And while games like the latest Fifa arguably do worse damage with their ultimate team packs, the fact that you pay so much for a stupid megaphone just offends me more.

It's not even the prize itself, it's the fact that you have to play for up to dozens of hours without leveling up your team's stats if you want to get it without paying full retail price. It's one of the most expensive items in the game's store...and it's a god damn MEGAPHONE. That's all it is.

The fact that such an act of utter chicanery is at the bottom of this list should scare you.
