Microtransactions + monetization - Store Page Should Make Clear Which Games Include These
I noticed some games with in-game microtransactions (think most games on your phone) and I couldn't find it listed on the store page. Now maybe it was there on these games and I just missed it, and if so, sorry. But either way, IT SHOULD BE PROMINENTLY DISPLAYED on the store page which games includes these PRIOR TO PURCHASE.

Which, I'm guessing someday soon will be all games sold. But it's not there yet, and I don't want to EVER purchase one of these games. It was bad enough when DLC's became the mobile version of microtransactions, but games with both DLC's and mircortransactions is a bridge too far for me.

Just my $.02.

The Features section where it'll state In App Purchases is not enough of a red flag?

No, that's good enough. Sorry, I said above that it was possibly there and I missed it. And it was. I had scanned many pages, including the features, but I think I was scanning looking for the word microtransactions and never saw it anywhere. I see now that you pointed me in the right direction it does list "In App Purchases" and I missed it.

I am going to give an award since your post was helpful, so please don't take offense at the award I pick (for some reason I have seen some take offense to some awards) I am just selecting Take My Points because it looks like (could've missed something there too though) it's most points.

Thanks again, and sorry I didn't catch that at first. Totally my bad.

It doesn't help the tag "in-app purchases" is more associated with the mobile sector of gaming than with PC, where we're used to the term 'microtransactions'
