Call of Duty Black Ops 4 was Launched in October of last year. At the time there were no microtransactions in the game. Last week we had word that they are now selling a Red Dot as a microtransaction for $1. They have largely gotten away with this and avoided mainstream attention and that's what i want to address in this video. how did we get here?
Steam Spy is a site that allows players and developers to keep track of how games are doing on steam, and it’s a hugely important tool for indies to get their games made.

Microsoft’s E3 conference for 2018 was a real belter. Halo Infinite, Gears of War 5, Forza Horizon 4 - and that’s just the most predictable stuff. Xbox E3 was a barnstormer. Lots of games, lots of real, concrete news, and lots of multiplatform games shown off on Microsoft’s stage. Here’s a recap of the best bits and what we made of it.
