What are the worst/stupidest examples of DLC/microtransations (18 to get you started) And my wife has turned to the dark side (tablet gaming)...thank God she doesn't do microtransactions!!!

Dude, seriously???

As a huge Metal Gear fan, fuck this game, and fuck Konami.

You still got all the classic ones right? Those can't be taken away or microtransactioned to death right? You know it's a good thing we didn't have digital download or microtransaction garbage back then or else some of those games might be gone forever!

Yeah, what Konami did was total bush league right? Bush league actions on a bush league gaming platform  

And let's not forget Quitcom who quit on Legends 3 and MegaMan Anniversary Collection GBA, mailed it in regarding extras on MegaMan X Collection because they wanted to save those for the new PSP series (which they quit on after the first game) and so far we've not had a new MegaMan game nearly all this decade!    Yeah there was that MegaMan 11 announcement but they're liable to just quit or half-tank that as well!

Asura's wrath as capcom literally charged you for the ending of each character's story individually.

Double Dragon 3 Arcade had you pay for a spinkick move wich is pretty damn low. Actually you're charged for everything from weapons to extra lives but an actual attack costing money in a fighting game that's some next level shit right there.

I don't suppose this whole micro-transaction/DLC has let up any has it? I sure hope by now the companies are getting the message and toning down at least the most abusive forms of it.

I'm not counting on EA finding religion anytime soon though...   They're like the Bank of America/Wal-Mart of video game companies
