Thank god I had nintendo ds and minecraft. No child scamming micro transactions there
There was a period in Minecraft where predatory mtx were going as hard as they do in Roblox
Wait, how does minecraft have mtx?
People set up private servers and then sell use of admin commands or mods for real money. Stuff like 100 diamonds spawned in for $5. If course mods make it more seamless by implementing currency systems directly into the game, but the basic premise is selling in game power for real money. It's extremely popular to do this in other games like Rust and Ark as well
The individual servers used to be able to have their own mtx
My kids still have a Nintendo DS and Minecraft. It was the last handheld to not be designed from the ground up for internet connectivity.
But what about the PictoChat predators??
