⚠️This article has been marked as incomplete. Sourcing or verifiability needs additional work.

In particular:

1. Microtransactions by themselves might not qualify as a consumer protection issue (see mission statement and inclusion guidelines) but the way they were intruduced and how they are use may warrant documenting
2. The claim of connection to servers being required needs a source and expansion in order to paint a clearer picture
