Title is weird with how it could be interpreted to mean mtx was $1 billion.

So for people who might be confused

150 million dollars from in-game microtransactions.

Wow, I fucking hate the state of journalism right now.

I agree.

I'll add there's apparently no point to a degree in it because it seems even the ones who have one learned nothing.

Its awful with at least every article posted on world.

[–] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 19 points 2 months ago

All those macrotransactions (because a horse skin that costs more than the game is not micro) just for it to only make up 15% of the revenue.

1000M/150M = 666% That title is at least 666% misleading.
