Buy him nothing.
>>342569464
Its pretty fucking sad that its so common for game companies to directly prey upon kids these days. Being a kid in the 2010s probably blows.
Jesus wept that's depressing
Buy him something not vidya related

>Its pretty fucking sad that its so common for game companies to directly prey upon kids these days
They always have.
Buy him a nice coffee machine get him started on that

>>342570520
>these days
>>342570879
Not as blatantly as they are now. Overwatch's loot box system is flatout disrespectful and there are kids missing out on having fun playing actual games because Blizzard wants money from abusing the psychology of kids (and idiots)
Get him some socks instead.
>>342571245
Yeah remember all those games with microtransactions on the SNES or on PS1?
Buy him a book.
>>342569464
I wonder if that is how uncles sounded back then
>Little cousin's birthday coming up soon

Way to shit on his birthday, why not some cloths too?
>>342569464
How many times did you rape him?
>>342571374
>microtransactions are the only way to take advantage of children
oh im laffin
>>342571706
The kid could use socks but I doubt the kid would be able to do anything useful with a bunch of cloth.

Never read the post you were replying to either, did you?
>>342569464
buy him lego
or if he's been bad buy him megabloks
>>342569464
Buy him a 3DS
>>342572239
Im saying that microtransactions are a thing enabled by the internet and digital video games. I never said that its the only way to prey on kids. Please learn to read before you shitpost.

Stop.You're part of the problem, double nigger.
>>342569464
So give him money to buy lootboxes. Or are you going to be a shitty person and gives him something the doesnt want?
>>342571017
Reminder that microtransaction in singleplayer games is a thing.
Get him Cory in the House on DS for his birthday
>>342572570
Its optional for a reason buddy, or are the mean companies forcing you to buy them?
>>342572056
Why does it have to increase in the first place.
Buy him a hat or some rubbers.
>>342572645
Because games are no longer shitty, you poorfag
>>342572631
Doesn't matter if you buy them or not, it's there and it shouldn't.

Currency devalues by 2% or so every year due to inflation, so prices have to increase or everyone is getting paid less. If a game cost ~$60 in the 90s, it needs to cost ~$110 to be equal value.

You seriously need to kill yourself if you dont see the difference here.

Remember all those commercials, and ads directly aimed at kids? Box top collection bullshit to get you to buy retarded amounts of their product? Toys in cereal? All the shit kids would crave being put on lower shelves so they can see it and scream at mom to buy them?
It was always this bad, you just didn't notice it because you were a kid.
>>342573012
>projecting
>>342569464
get him something other than money for lootboxes. a game, or something useful. If he complains tell him

Buy the little faggot a hardcover book and then beat him until he is crippled with it to teach that little cunt a lesson to not be such a spoiled piece of shit.
>>342573176
Hate to break it to you but cereal isnt a video game
>>342573338
much edgy, very hot topic
>>342569464
Buy Overwatch and play it with him. Give him a real gift too, something other than loot boxes, but offer to play Overwatch with him and help him get better so he'll earn loot boxes faster (yeah you don't really earn them that much faster if you're good, but he's a dumb kid so he'll probably buy it). Then maybe he'll start to appreciate playing games for the experience more than the reward.
However, Overwatch is a shitty game so don't bother with that unless you really like your cousin.

But those are just gimmicks to incentivize buying cereal and snack foods that kids love anyway. So buying a box of cereal that has some shitty game in it isnt that big of a deal because chances are, its a cereal that any kid already eats.
But microtransaction fests like EA games and Overwatch are built to capitalize on idiots and parents who dont know any better. These are people spending superfluous amounts of money after the initial $60 purchase.

In case you havent noticed this is a thread about games with microtransactions, not shitty 90s pc games that came in cereal boxes. Please read the thread before you sperg out.
>>342575591
Wow thats hilarious
>>342575784
It wasn't about microtransactions. It was about OP's cousin not wanting a game, but wanting loot boxes.
>>342573343

>>342575925
And how do you suppose people buy Overwatch loot boxes, anon?
>>342576135
What I'm trying to say is this thread started with OP talking about his cousin.

What's the game with highest price out there?
