MEXICO MAN Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Microtransactions. "Micro." As in, very small bits of money—a dollar here, a dollar there—exchanged for comparably small in-game items: A new hat, perhaps, or some healing potions. But boy, it sure adds up. Riot Games earned $624 million from League of Legends last year, and that was only good enough for second place on the top-ten free-to-play earnings list. In 2014, however, it's shot to number one, and is poised to be the first to break $1 billion in microtransaction revenues. League of Legends pulled in an estimated...

Evett Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Never played MOBAs much, but, micro-transactions seem to be fundamental for their development, even if most of the gaming community, from what I've seen, has a dislike for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weeman Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 is this the profit margin or just the total amount from sales?

This is not like most microtransactions, you can earn any character in-game among other things. But skins for like wards and characters, that's what you HAVE to buy if you want it. So there is nothing wrong with the way they do it. is this the profit margin or just the total amount from sales?

It's really not that easy, there are so many bug reports being filed every second and they are overwhelmed since they are trying to fix the biggest ones first, then the little ones. And don't get logitech if it's that bad. Also, it's a bug, it's not like they put it there. It takes time to fix these things since they don't know how they arose in the first place.

I'm not going to not buy a good brand product because Riot can't code properly. And its the big ones they don't fix is what I'm stating. They've had terrible big bugs for awhile not and their priority is new champions with new skins and the occasional rework. and yes it takes time to fix these things though I dont understand how thats a counter argument to hiring programmers to fix said issues.
