About time they did away with the “pay to play” stuff in gaming. I dont’ care if people pay for different outfits, skins etc, but for a distinct gaming advantage? That has no place in modern gaming ---

I refuse to support micro transactions in games and will not spend a penny. If it’s cosmetic such as skins ect I’m ok with that but the minute someone gets an advantage over me because of a micro transaction that’s when the line is crossed for me.
