if it wasn’t fun for people, people wouldn’t be buying them
I am not a psychology major or anything, but isnt it that microtransactions are designed in such a way that they hook players in not by being fun but by being a literal gambling? Or in case no lootboxes, FOMO? Like LoL once done with many skins stating “It is a one time possible to purchase, never comes back like ever!!!1!11” to later sell them once again.
Back in a day you either customize game yourself by downloading mods and models, or you earn your fancy skins by being good at the game. Today it is just a purchase. There is no fun in cosmetics beside bragging about them. There might be fun in pay to win, but not for those who doesn’t pay. Neither it is healthy fun.
Found Lexmark 3426adw in a warehouse of a company that sells used hotel stuff. It has a defect where it would bend a piece of paper ever so slightly across whole page hence the price of 30 euro. Still prints perfect. It has been a year since this find and I am still hyped of buying it.
