Should video game budgets should be lowered so that there will be no more need for microtransactions and other grey area business practices?

Normies just need to stop sticking their disgusting tendrils into my hobby.

i could never imagine myself saying this, but that webm is pretty cute

yeah, they are called indie games and have existed for over 10 years

more comfy birds please

>lower budgets will decrease greed

>for over 10 years
People were making and distributing "indie" games since before you were born

Fine, over 12 years.

Yes but that would never happen, marketing budgets are out of fucking control but the suits have deluded themselves into thinking they're necessary.

There was never a need for microtransactions to begin with. But if people are willing to pay for it then why not? It's as simple as that.

Why charge X for something if you can charge 2X and still sell just as much (or nearly as much)?
