Hello everyone!

I just watched a great video from the youtuber "boogie2988". This guy is awesome, and despite all he says might not be true, it definately provokes some thoughts and ideas, at least to me.

I thought I would share this video with you guys! Also, i thought Zenimax should watch this as well.

    Absolutely not! You might steal them. Make up your own!

    This was a good video... but he kind of just stated the obvious.
    What ESO really needs is an Auction Horse.
    That's right... Horse.

    It's obvious to the people who already knows. Some people are ignorant of the situation.

    I still haven't gotten around to watching it. But, Boogie's generally pretty good at analysis.

    He pretty much says that the reason microtransactions exist is because games haven't gotten more expensive to buy but they have gotten more expensive to produce and that post-release DLC and micrsotransactions are covering the additional costs.

    This was apparent since the first "season pass" was offered. The price of the game is the Game + Season Pass. It's a clever way to raise the price of games without actually raising the price.

    It's a shame that ESO doesn't offer "Quarterly Passes" for $60 that gives players all non-consumable Crown Store items + DLC to own.
