8 Video Games RUINED By Microtransactions

To say that the world over was "considerably hyped" about the announcement of a Modern Warfare Remaster would be a massive understatement, as forums were sent into meltdown over the chance to play one of the highest-rated COD games ever with a brand new coat of paint and a slew of new improvements.

And for a while, this seemed to be the perfect Remaster, one handled with true love and care by the devs until the cracks started to show. First came the insulting slap in the face that this Remaster would only be bundled with the Infinite Warfare special editions, effectively ransoming your nostalgia through the lens of FOMO.

And then came the microtransactions, which lest we not forget were added in AFTER reviews came out so the public was sold 10/10 reviews for a product that most definitely would have been reviewed lower had these been in at the start.

Plus on top of this, the remaster didn't come with all the maps the original had and were sold to players as separate packs down the line, meaning that we had the curious case of a remaster that was a pre-order bonus until it wasn't, free of microtransactions until it wasn't, with it's own DLC version of the originals DLC.

Confused? so was this game, which aside from all this grubbiness is still stonkingly good when it comes to its revitalized single player.
