@derceto: numbered with a sideways 8.... this industry is not going away. It is more popular than ever.

When you go Christmas shopping this year just take a look in the gaming department......it will be busy.

@BabeNewelll: Dude... I love Blizzard just as much as a lot of people......but they are an ULTRA microtransaction offender.

If you wann poke fun about micros....just don't even bring up Blizzard.

Also, most of thiers are not MICRO thier mounts are 20 dollars and packs of cards on Heartstone are like a $1.50 a pop for virtual cars lol.

@xenomorphalien: Give it to a kid that will enjoy it. Thats worth way more than 5 bones.

@kenpachi212: I love them both and they were both worth the price tag for different reasons.

I put like 105 hours into BB...totally worth $60 and I can not wait to throw money at them for the upcoming DLC.

@ricku1967: Thank you.

Gaming may have a very expensive up front cost...but once you are established it is one of the cheapest hobbies around. Most people would pay for internet even if they didn't play games so I don't really count that into the cost.

I used to race remote control cars and that hobby was ultra expensive lol....may not seem like it but yeah.

If you have any self control gaing can be a very cheap hobby

@heqteur: Just because a child has a toy ( Whatever the parent may deem as a toy ) in thier possesion does not mean they are unsupervised.

My daughter loves to play on my tablet...but I am still sitting near her watching. People are so quick to point the bad parent finger......

Anytime VanOrd votes on or reviews something I almost always agree.
