Okay, we all know just how greedy and stupid microtransactions can be, but what are some of the most grevious examples you can think of? Here's 18 to get you started (you guys know how I'm working on Tales of Phantasia? As #12 on this list shows, the IOS version is most definetly NOT "new and improved"
)

And I'm also sad to say, my wife recently turned to the dark side...she now does tablet gaming
Thank God though she hasn't succumbed to those microtransactions though with her rummy game she's been tempted sometimes
This also reminds me of this classic moment in the now 20!! year history of South Park:
Can you imagine how it would be if I had kids (the human kind) getting all envious of these players who can afford hundreds, maybe thousands of dollars on a DLC ship/weapon/armor/whatever...and I happen to say something like:
Them: Wow, look at all these awesome upgrades/armors/weapons/items for *insert name of phone/tablet game*...I'd give anything to be able to have them...
Me: Hey, you guys wanna see something really cool? *shows off Master Sword/Hyrulian Shield and doing usual Link moves*
Them: .........
Me: I got this in Japan and it's limited to only 100...look at the lifelike craftsmanship!
I also got some of my real game cartridges/discs/consoles I'd love for you guys to see!
Them: That's...nice...but we wanna check out more of these DLC's!
Me: But...but...this is real!
Them: Real games and real collectibles are for old people!
All the more reason I'll stick with having kitties instead
