To most of us, this is probably just a summary of events over the past year or so. But, it's good to know that this sort of news is reaching non-gaming channels.

The past year or so? I remember saying this shit during the horse amour days and shitty hat days and expansion packs getting slimmer and slimmer.

By shitty hat do you mean tf2?

Cause that’s all I played during the rise of microTXs. To me, the way valve went about it was literally the line between monetization and not ruining the game.

I thought that meant it can be done, all it proved looking back is publicly traded companies suck!!

Hats actually ruined Tf2 for me and I think it's weird people are fine with tf2 allowing it but not games like overwatch
