Overall, gaming has become lazy. Instead of putting in work, some gamers are taking the easy way out through microtransactions. Games were made to make you work towards a wide degree of goals; They made gamers look forward to the many accomplishments they could achieve by putting in the time and work.

It's friggin popular.

Instead, it’s a fusion of both.
