Asmongold has reiterated his concerns on Lost Ark Gold an interview on a recent live stream where He predicted a dire pay-to win future for games:"I think pay to win games will be the norm in the near future. I believe they're very likely to become there will be more games that pay to win. It's just going to occur. I think this is what's bound to take place. There will always be games such as Elden Ring Yes, but it's like entropy, right it's going to become fewer and farther between."

Asmongold predicted that the overall mindset in regards to pay-towin will change 180. He predicted that players are likely to be "looked down upon" and "considered as socially inferior" in the event that they don't take part in the pay-towin system thanks in no small part due to the in-game "social expectations." Unfortunately his future scenario could be even closer to reality than he is aware of.

In 2019, Polygon has published an editorial about an 11th grader who was bullied by other students because he had default Fortnite skins and hadn't bought special outfits. The child purportedly "begged his parents for [money] to buy a skin because no one would play with him." Sadly, that is hardly the only example of microtransaction-based bullying. Later the same year, the Children's Commissioner of England organisation released a report which found that other Fortnite players were victimized for not spending money on special in-game skins.

Genshin Impact is another fascinating instance of a game that is successful in exploring new methods of pushing the possibility of paying-to-win microtransactions. This game has a huge roster of playable characters concealed behind what's known as a "gacha" mechanism. Only way for players to gain access to these heroes is to use gems which players gradually earn on the go or buy with real money.

To acquire most powerful and rare characters, players must deposit more gems into gacha system before hoping Lady Luck smiles on them. To make matters more complicated, players can upgrade characters by receiving duplicates from best place to buy Lost Ark Gold Genshin Impact's digital slot machine. In order to fully upgrade rare characters, you must add more gems or money to Genshin Impact. There's nothing you can do.
