    Well even 'Premium" games are still going micro-transactions by selling you little bits of content all over the place for 10x what it's worth. Don't get me wrong I'm not against DLC I just find the prices often don't represent the value given. There are exceptions of course like some of the Borderlands and Fallout stuff but more often you are asked to pay 10-15% the price of the full game for like 1% of the content.

    They forgot the "pay to win" mechanic as well, in most Free to play games.
