They’re everywhere now, but I think it depends how they’re implemented. What’s your take?
 
In most games microtransactions are optional, you aren't forced to buy items or pay for upgrades, therefore, I do not think microtransactions are ruining games. Those who do not want to be bothered with microtransactions can always go for premium games.
 
I wouldn't say that microtransactions are ruining games at all. I could understand it if they were forced up on within games, but microtransactions are done so that they are a choice and not something that is forced.

I don't mind seeing microtransactions in games and have made some purchases in the past when there has been something I have liked or been interested in.
 
Microtransactions have actually spoiled the game’s balance. I won't lie. I stopped playing one game because everything turned into “pay to win.” Game is supposed to be used for escape, not another bill.
 
I don’t think so. In most games Microtransactions are optional and not compulsory
 
If micro transactions don't affect gameplay, it is fine. They are good for cosmetics and skins. It is only bad when it determines the outcome of a game and turn it to pay to win.
 
I think the developers are also finding ways to make money for themselves. If I play a game and it is worth it, then I would want to keep playing even if it involves money. But not everyone sees it that way.
 
I don't think microtransactions are ruining thr games, as long as you do it on moderation, microtransactions are fine. Having said that there are also games where you need to depend on microtransactions to get maximum experience
