It's funny that I only see MT's in two types of games these day: AAA games F2P games F2P I can understand because they give out constant updates in exchange for the MT's. AAA games have literately 0 excuses for putting them in their games on top of DLC as well. What's even more sad is that the F2P games are now offering more freedoms with the MT's than, at least in my experience they just give you what you pay for instead of putting them in loot boxes. And before anyone goes "But Sonow, they have to charge more for development costs these days" I've done the research, even when accounting for inflation game devs are spending no more now than they were 20-30 years ago. Not to mention there has been a massive increase in both the supplies and demands for videos games in the 20-30 years as well. There was a time when selling 250k of your game or console was considered great and getting 1m was astounding. Now if a console or a game doesn't sell at least 1m it's considered a flop, but you have games and consoles selling in the 10's of millions within its year of release Also, hardware costs are much lower as well, 20-30 years ago to get a computer that could handle game programming you would be spending $2-$4k more per computer .
