Talk:Microtransactions

Broken Filters

There's an issue with the spam filter at the moment which means that, due to the presence of a restricted word, no-one without advanced persms is able to edit the page.

We're working on a fix, but for now please save any proposed edits for this page in a text editor, and feel free to discuss them here while we work on a fix Keith (talk) 07:44, 20 May 2025 (UTC)

Overbroad page

I think this page steps a bit over the anti-consumer threshold. More precise and descriptive subsection titles ('Bias' is particularly weird) would be useful as well as a more narrow focus which avoids overlapping too much with dark patterns, etc.

I might also suggest changing the page title to 'predatory microtransactions' as this would help to avoid the implication that all microtransactions are automatically anti-consumer. Keith (talk) 18:10, 20 May 2025 (UTC)

I do have to admit, I was struggling to get some proper ideas for the proper section names to write up, so I am more than welcome to see a better name implemented for this purpose.

As for the title change, you have my support on it, just make sure you get the redirects set up! (I was considering having 'mtx' be a redirect as well) JamesTDG (talk) 19:36, 20 May 2025 (UTC)
