  1. Jack Emmert was previously against these by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on Cryptic's Roper Explains Microtransactions For Champions Online

    Posting AC for various reasons.

    After reading this I immediately recalled Jack Emmert speaking against micro-transactions

    "Micro-transactions or Subscriptions?

    Cryptic's Jack Emmert: "[Microtransactions] are like the new hip thing. But subcriptions are nice. I like paying one fee and then not worrying about it.. It's not the wave of the future guys. The world's biggest MMO is Rob's game [World of Warcraft]. Last I checked, it ain't item-based. It's a buzz term.. It just makes me want to die. Frankly I'd rather send out mass e-mails saying 'send me a dollar.' I think I'd get the same response."
