As a gamer, there's not much worse than spending our hard-earned cash on a video game that we were looking forward to only for it to be an absolute stinker. Anthem, I'm looking at you. This is why free-to-play games such as Fortnite and Call of Duty: Warzone prove to be so popular, with a bit of microtransaction restraint, we can enjoy those games without spending a penny.
