Personally I don't play any game with microtransactions.

I'm only interested in games I can purchase outright and then own*. If there's large scale DLC that's fine, great even, but if there's some in-game way to spend money that isn't restricted to a DLC button/section, then I'm not interested.

I want to play games, not be inundated by constant sales opportunities.

*I'm aware I don't "own" most game due to the stupidity of licensing, and while I don't love that, I can acknowledge it's still a different and better thing that games that constantly push microtransactions
