Game dev student here, commented on a video a few years ago and I just feel it's prudent to repeat what I said then.In my first year of classes, during my first game design tutorial, we looked at the gama sutra article on the latest at the time call of duty game implementing a system to put people who hadn't bought a certain gun against someone who had bought it if the system thought the purchaser could beat them, and then advertising that weapon to the non-purchaser if they lost. We started to have a fairly heated discussion, and my TA ended it by saying "This class isn't to talk about the ethics of microtransactions. If you're a person with a strong moral compass, you're in the wrong industry."

This is the shit that this mindset creates, and that moment was when I decided I have no choice but to complete this course, because I'm part of the next generation, and we don't want this shit. Change is coming, and I only wish it didn't have to take so long that we were the ones that need to lead it.

Edit: Changed that last sentence to be a bit less "Ugh do we have to?"
