    All games are like this. You spend real money for items you can only use in game and not be able to get money back. Gray market aside…

    Diablo 3 tried a real money auction house and we know how that went. Crypto has potential in bridging macro economies to real world economies but that’s not going so well either.

    The ironic thing is, we like it the way it is. Games want to spend money on items they can’t sell back. I dont understand why but it doesn’t matter. I dont partake. You don’t have to either. I play the new pokemon game and don’t spend real money. I get that choice, and for now, I’m happy not giving them anything.

      Speak for yourself, this is the first game I’ve played since PoGo came out that even has microtransactions in it!
