Microtransactions in video games. Hell, I'd say that modern video games in general are pretty bad, ESPECIALLY modern mobile games.

Look, I agree they suck, but video games being slightly worse isn’t the worst thing about the 21st century.

Eh, I couldn't really think of anything that isn't already pointed out by somebody else in the comments, so this is the thing that came to mind.

Have you played many modern games?

Breath of the Wild?

Deep Rock Galactic?

Battlebit Remastered?

Baba is you?

Ban them.

Get rid of the entire business model. It's an abuse. Games make you value arbitrary worthless nonsense - that is what makes them games. Attaching a dollar price to that imaginary form of value is a scam.
