Then I must be in the same minority.

If it's an offline game, I agree. If it's an online game, of any kind, while I don't do any of the micro-transactions, I completely understand why they're there.

No, you're not alone, DPX. ;) I don't play games on my mobile phone, because it drains the battery really, really quickly, and I care about battery life. :)

I also expect a higher price for my PC games, and don't mind paying it. However, before I fork over my hard-earned, I look very carefully at what I get for it, and whether my (admittedly middle-aged) computer can run it. ;)

That's all. If a game costs more because it's on a PC, I don't mind paying more, provided that I get my money's worth. I, too, would rather not have to deal with ads and micro-transactions.
