Personally, it become very disappointing when multiplayer games become less and less interesting for players who seeks for challenges and problem solving. I like to think today's gamers are mainly going for bragging rights, and studios are catering just that with IAP, loot box, decos etc.

I checked out let's plays for Nier Automata, Zelda BotW and had my expectation blown out of the water. While on the other side of the spectrum I see big name franchises packed with microtransaction ideas yet no substances to back it up.
