The 5 Types of Microtransactions, Ranked From Okay to Evil

Pay for Limited Usage Items

Limited usage items – items which either wears after usage or have a limited time duration attached to them – come with a little more frustration than their cosmetic upgrade counterparts. This is particularly the case if it’s an item one might expect as part of their inventory. Recently, Stream re-introduced “Sprays” to Counter-Strike: GO, something which featured heavily in previous builds but was removed. The return of Sprays came with a twist, however, as they are now monotized and carry a 50 usage cap before having to purchase a fresh resupply. Perhaps you can still play and enjoy the game without these items, but purchasing an item with a finite usage is never fun.
