You ever notice there never seems to be any bugs with any game’s microtransaction stores? Servers never go down. Never any exploits. Never really any delivery issues. 99.999999% uptime. Wonder why 🤔

@Onepeg Tell that to the Magic the Gathering: Arena store my guy. You know how many times I've tried to give them money and it never works...

@Onepeg Well, to be fair, Ubisoft recently had an issue where some people used an exploit to give away trillions of in-game currency to RS6 players. Ubisoft amazingly had a way to roll that back, though. 🤔

@Onepeg hi grampa Can you explain it for a silly chicken burger like me? I genuinely don’t get it :(

@Onepeg Dunno about now but latest Viego gacha from Riot was disaster on release. Watched streamer only get errors getting currency/pulling. All the way to pity. Not once did he have reward screen.

@Onepeg I have the same thought when it comes to advertisements on YouTube etc , always perfect quality

@Onepeg League had one recently, with the new season store was out for like 12 hours. But I do agree that it's something rare to see 😂

@Onepeg Diablo 4 launch when the game was giga cooked but the store worked with absolutely zero lag lol. League of Legends store also notorious for always working when major client bugs pop up. Also if there is a store but it's always fixed in minutes-hours

@Onepeg As someone who’s worked with or on these. They’re aren’t that complex. And most issues are impacting small amounts of users only for a very short period of time and often in a way that isn’t super negative (getting 12/10 items in a bundle) Most common issue? Content live early.

@Onepeg ahah servers never go down, never any exploits is crazy talk. i'm no fan of mtx but really these systems are pretty simple, and qa runs thorough tests on new mtx. it's just not *that* hard to do right.

@Onepeg Smart developers decouple the logic. A store in itself is relatively simple in comparison to the game. Completely different logic, lighter weight, API managed. Integrations fail before the store does.

@Onepeg Same with Ads in YouTube. Oh sorry you have to buffer for 20 minutes but hey at least our 3 minute long ads are running fine! Though saying this BF6’s store has never fully loaded for me lol

@Onepeg The pledge store is the only thing that works in Star Citizen 🤣

@Onepeg Destiny 2 had several MTX store exploits discovered. Soon as it hit mainstream, same day patch. Even multiday rollbacks if they suspect people found it early. Meanwhile, there were bugs that lasted months, if not longer, that would never get patched.

@Onepeg Objectively not true.

@Onepeg Arknights Endfield literally just had this issue at launch. It was specifically with PayPal and they suspended it as a payment method while it was compromised, but it does happen.
