Yeah...they have them on their mobile games though. But if say PoE2 has micro transactions, Obsidian can strike my name from their fan list.

There is written that Take Two announced that…
Take-Two announced that all their upcoming games would feature microtransactions but it’s not clear whether that will include this new label.
Of course, players could be worried if devs join forces with publisher who pushes for this "microshit".
We'll see. I doubt that Obisidian is willing to destroy their goodwill with adding microtransactions, espeically since they did a survey on that stuff. And we all know the result of it.
Plus this is a new label of TakeTwo so it might not adhere to their policy about microtransaction in every new game. At least that's my hope. If they want to do DLC then I'm ok with it, as long as they are not small in scope and content

Interesting part:
SomeTwitterGuy/Girl: Expect it to be full of "recurrent consumer spending" ��
Private Division: Don’t worry, this is not a requirement for our titles.

Precisely what I was referring to. A publisher that actually states all their games will contain MT's... as if that was a good thing? "Sure, we'll publish your game, as long as you add horse armour, currency you can buy for RL money, and of course Loot boxes. Perhaps you could also add an awesome button?"

If the publisher is that committed to micro-transactions I'd prefer them to be open and up front about it. That way I can ignore all their games from the start instead of getting excited and then disappointed.

What about lootboxes? Gotta have lots of lootboxes to complement the MTs.
Really excited!

This puts the Obsidian survey on DLC into a different light. Perhaps Obsidian were trying to prove to Take2 what the fans of Obsidian would and would not tolerate as a lever for negotiation.
Is this the RPG that Tim Cain and Leonard Boyarsky are working on?

I don't really care about microtransactions if they're optional and don't hurt the game itself.
I mean, publisher opportunism and greed have been part and parcel since the industry got started.
But Obsidian have always been contract workers - and their games are usually middling to good, for my part.
So, I guess you could say I'm not invested enough to care about this one.

Yes it is.
Why speculate when later the facts will be known ?
Not that long. I think I started around 88. I suppose the old timers are from the 70's or 60's.
You haven't been online long, have you
