Hello everybody! I’m csm on the discord and you may have seen my discuss this there as well.
I’m doing a research paper about game player attitudes towards microtransactions. I have the following survey to collect information of how people feel about certain types of microtransactions and their effect on gaming as a whole. It should only take a maximum of ten minutes and does not ask for any personal information beyond which broad region of the world you live in.
Just finishing. My one comment would be that the final set of questions could do with an “other” section. For
Microtransactions in competitive multi-player games usually make the game unfair. *
I don’t actually have any 1st hand experience of that! It also is the only question on that page which is a bit broad in scope. The others are more focused but that covers everything from Skins (which is fine, ish), to MP boosts/Weapons/Character packs (which is generally pretty scummy)
I had the same thought. This was the only item that I couldn’t answer unambiguously because the relevant micro transactions could fall anywhere from pay-to-win to purely cosmetic.
Yeah, it stands out more because all of the other questions are well written/defined. Definitely a good job on the rest of the questionnaire @BobbyHillAvatar
