Warframe's microtransactions are getting an overhaul, and it's a better deal for everybody

Microtransactions are, in many ways, a necessary evil. While developers of free online multiplayer games rely on them to keep the lights on, a lot of players simply wish that they weren't there at all. While supporting a videogame is entirely your choice, the level of predatory MTXs feels like it's consistently ramping up, becoming more invasive, more aggressive, and, most importantly, more expensive. Warframe, like any other game, has a premium currency (called Platinum) that you can either splash the cash on, or collect as you play. The latter part, in my opinion, makes it a lot more friendly than other videogame economies. However, that doesn't mean there isn't room for improvement, and that's exactly what Digital Extremes is delivering. Read the rest of the story...
