The problem I have is normalization. People complained about micro-monetization in video games, but that was normalized. People complained about corporate interest in open source, but that's normalized. Now people are complaining about your operating system advertising to you against your will, it will be normal soon.

Tbh, I'm fine with cosmetic-only microtransactions, so long as they're not pumped at you all the time.

Edit: in an otherwise free-to-play game. Fuck micros in paid games.
