Set up monthly allowance they can spend as they want, they will notice the shitty practices really quickly and it will teach them the value of money.

Don't forget to make them work for it. For every hour long piece of work they do throw 2 bucks in it. Then they can say, "Oh hey that stupid costume wasn't worth cleaning my room, washing the dishes, and dusting the living room for... what so ever. "
Get them hating MT's early on. Never forget.

Hyperbole is a pretty dumb way to sell the argument against P2W. I don't believe the suits running the industry are that dumb to cut off their main revenue source for the great white whales.
The whole system revolves around being as insidious as possible and making millions $0.50 to $15 at a time, preferably in the background, so "gamers" don't get uppity and the weak minded come to their defense with shouts "YOU CAN EARN IT IN GAME FOR FREE" or "YOU DON'T HAVE TO BUY IT JUST BECAUSE IT'S THERE" and "I'M NOT TOUCHING THE STORE SO IT DOESN'T EFFECT ME OR MY GAMEPLAY." While failing to recognize how the game was redesigned around them in the first place. All of which we've seen on this forum, one of the homes of "real gamers", within the last month.
Just like our [American] government, we're getting exactly what we deserve for being an uninformed, selfish, and lazy populace. Our hobby is going to get worse as eventually the holdout studios standing on principle of "good games sell themselves" will lose market share and get bullied out / shut down. That's what EA's core strategy is and they aren't alone in it. Meanwhile people are still paying premium prices for the deevolution of games we had over a decade ago because they look / sound like Star Wars in a modern engine!
Congrats team, we're the real threat to the industry. Which is pretty sad, considering the role FoH played earlier in its history.

Call of Duty: WW2 multiplayer servers already up – watch the elaborate supply drop opening routine
You cannot make up all the lies these idiots tell. As far as I am concerned these people need to start being held accountable by us, and the gaming press, and everyone else.

Games are being ruined because gamers are fucking stupid and have no principles. You can see it happen on this very board. The same people that bitch to high heaven about the practices of the industry are the same ones buy the worst fucking offenders because they can't handle not owning every major release. Some of them will rationalize it by saying they aren't buying microtransactions so it's ok, but eventually most of them will buy those fucking microtransactions.

For me, I do my part by using Gamefly. For the games that are worth the purchase without this type of garbage, I'll buy. For those like this where I still want to play a piece of the game (Namely, Single Player) I'll rent so the publisher doesn't see a damn dime and I can still go through the Single Player WW2 Campaign. And I am finding now plenty of options to rent games - RedBox, Gamefly, etc. Not once will I ever subscribe to a publisher led service either.
So this way, we can still play their game, and still stick it to them. Or, pirate the damn thing. I haven't pirated anything in a LONG time. I doubt I even know how to anymore. But any game that includes this type of system, just don't ever pay for it so the publisher sees a cent. Or don't play it.
