Welcome to The Feed from Geek Mountain, Episode 10!
Ahhh, the breeze is... w-wait what?? Lootboxes? Downloadable content? Pay-to-win?! BATTLE PASSES?! COSMETICS?! How did all of this get in this week's episode? Gaming was different back on the old mountain. Everything was unlockable by skill and hard work. These microtransactions have invaded every gaming platform and genre; multiplayer and single-player; online and offline. This week's mountain features Shoryuken Pizza and Jacuzzi figuring out why microtransactions have climbed to the top of the cliff, overlooking all of humanity as peasants with gambling addictions and gullible tendencies.
