I am not so much tired of updating stuff. But there has to be an observable benefit for doing so. I am not going to update to gain bloat or lose features. Another big problem with updating IoT is my woot specials rarely, if ever, release firmware upgrades.
I agree with this 100%. I played the game and thought "hey this is a good game to play on the crapper" Then I got 3 levels in and though there is no way I would pay 10$ to unlock the rest of the game. I was just talking to my wife about microtransactions. When AppStore was in its infancy, games were 99c with over the top great games being 1.99. I was happy with this and often times I wanted someway to pay the developer more. Now I pay 2.99 for a game, and it is pay-to-play after that. Again, I am happy to support the developers, but not at what they are wanting. Example, I am playing the game HonorBound right now; everything can be unlocked in game (if you're lucky). However, if you want to increase your chances at getting a stronger character you need to use 10 elite ruins or pay 4000 gems. You can buy 2500 gems for 19.99 and 6500 gems for 49.99. Even if I buy the gems I am still relying on RNGesus to get me a decent character. Are you kidding me? I can buy a damn near AAA game for less than that.
