These days, microtransactions are all too common in video games. Most are relatively harmless (comparatively speaking), but occasionally a publisher releases a microtransaction that just makes you want to throw your hands up in disgust. Konami did just that in Metal Gear Survive.
Several days ago, TweakTown broke the news that Konami is selling extra Metal Gear Survive save slots for $10 each. Several years ago, I would have written that off as an intentionally hyperbolic and fictional prediction that never, ever would or could come to pass. However, sites such as IGN have confirmed that this is actually happening; Konami is trying to get gamers who just spent $40 on a game to spend even more on a feature that has been free since it was invented in 1987.
