Wanted to get something off my chest. These 'Micropayments'. Seems you can't download an app now or find any 'free' game that doesn't have a $10-50 micropayment tied to it. I think it is a ripoff and a slap in the face to traditional gamers. Gone are the days where skill and practice get you by in a game. All you need is a big enough wallet and you can buy your way successfully. That doesn't make you a good gamer.

I guess I am nostalgic to when demos or free games actually had a few levels that you could play and then offered up at the end 'Get the full version for $xx'. Nowadays when I see something wanting me to advance to the next level by purchasing my way there, I delete the game. I don't want to be told 'Oh you would be soo much better in our solid bronze armor for $20, and the envy of all in your gold plated armor, for just $50 now.'

Things like that make me long for the games of old. Where is Commander Keen? Where is Roger Wilco? Where is BJ Blascowitz?
