The Stupid Gamer

Lumines Live is one of the biggest rip off slap to the face of gamers that I have seen in a long time. The game costs 1200 Marketplace points (a lot to begin with), but doesn’t include all of the skins or modes in the game. In fact, all of the included skins can be played through in under an hour from start to finish. To get the full experience of the game you’ll need to buy 3 additional packs via microtransactions on the Xbox Live Marketplace.

Come on people, this is a sick joke. If this is the way next-gen is progressing, I might become a retro gamer even more than I am now. It sickens me to see this nickel and diming model become the standard in the industry.

Don’t buy Lumines Live. DO NOT SUPPORT THIS KIND OF CONSUMER ABUSE. The only way to properly speak out is by withholding your dollar. Send a message! Do not eat up either Microsoft’s or Mizuguchi’s damage control on this issue. For the sake of us all, ignore this game!
