Also European here. They do. Certainly in the shops I've been in. Probably a country thing.

Usually microtransactions have such a low real price that it wouldn't make sense to make the bank transaction for just a single skin or whatever. I think you'd just end up with bundles instead where there's a single thing you actually want with a bunch of bullshit attached to justify a higher asking price.

But we probably all make it onto some list ^^

Here is to hoping something will come out of it. Planned obsolescence is illegal for so much else, but somehow gaas get away with it.

Sure, they shouldn't need to actively support an eol game with servers and whatnot, that would be impossible in some circumstances. Is it too much to ask companies to have a plan to transition their games into a serverless state instead of letting yet another piece of culture die though? I don't think so.

I don't agree with this take at all. Agent Smith was definitely evil, the machines were victims of capitalist exploitation, which they just turned right around on humanity once they took charge.

I suppose that point is mostly explored in the sequels though.
