Its that I accept that this is the reality of gaming right now and fighting over it so far has been a lost cause.

As for microtransactions, the very reason publishers are getting away with it is that fans don't oppose it enough to actually make a difference and that is why Jim Sterling mentioned its important to continue highlighting the terrible practice of microtransactions in $60 dollar single player games instead of letting it become the norm for every AAA game release.
Instead of disregarding it as a rant to garner more views actually listen to what the man has to say because the general aggressively dismissive attitude of most customers like yourself towards microtransactions or other standard practices has given publishers confidence to shoehorn them in more and more games.
Enjoy the Silence, Feel the Noise
I mean shit wasn't that the answer that people like Jim Sterling kept saying to people?
I have not bought any Microtransactions so far and will continue to do so. And I try to purchase Complete Editions of new games if I can.
But appearently my choice to not buy any of these Microtransactions was all for nothing because appearently there are people that DID bought them, That's the only logical answer as to why Publishers continue to push them in games. Its not Gamer's Silence and the fact that EVERY Publisher is doing this is the reason why this is almost standard. If this was just EA doing this and people did enough ranting it would have been over or at least lessened to a degree.
Its like does people like Jim actually did research on how much these microtransactions sell in games like AC and Metal Gear 5?
Microtransactions to me is just the concequences of gaming taking advantage of the capabilities of online internet access.
