Let's see if ANY form of microtransaction would be accepted by the PC community. Multiplayer game. FPS 'arena' shooter.
The publisher is prepared to sell the vanilla game for £27.99 NOT £29.99 if he can implement the following... acceptable?
1) Pay the publisher an extra £2 and you get access to the 'Uber-lazer'. And proceed to have noticeable advantage people without it on the server. Reasonable?
2) Pay the publisher an extra £2 and you get 'funny costume'. Makes no difference to your characters capabilities in game, just makes him look wierd. Reasonable?
3) Pay the publisher an extra £2 and you get to battle on 'Mars pithole' level with anyone else that gave them £2 (and anyone that didn't , er ,, doesn't!). Acceptable?
4) Pay the publisher an extra £2 and they'll unlock game screen resolutions above 1024*768. Don't, and you can play it perfectly well at 1024*768 it's just not quite as pretty. Acceptable?
5) Pay the publisher an extra £2 and they remove 'sleep 30 seconds' from the 'loading' code. So relatively the game seems to load amazingly fast.
Any of the above reasonable, for getting THE OPTION of a cheaper 'vanilla' game?
