An easy argument is who would burn more than $50 on MTZ and DLC, but that's the way the games are now. If you want a real horror story, think of it this way; today's teenagers that are into gaming think of microtransactions as perfectly normal. Just imagine how it will be in 10 more years. D:
Back on topic though, this game scratches my itch for a Musou game perfectly so I'd never consider the $50 (minus a bit for the coupon Steam threw at me about 2 months before lol) to have been a waste. It sure as hell was a better Musou game than Dynasty Warriors 9 was...
