Once again, another example of AAA greed in the video game industry has reared up its rotten and bloated head, only to rend another chunk out of our nostalgia and enjoyment of games. This time Activision strikes again to shovel in microtransactions into Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled. Yes, a game based on a 20 year-old

A set of three new gameplay teasers for various iconic characters in the Crash Bandicoot trailers have been released this weekend. Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled is boosting toward release, and Beenox and Activision aren’t pumping the brakes on the hype machine just yet, as there’s a way to go before the finish line.

The games industry is nothing if not cyclical, and on cycle that I am really tired of, and frankly angry about seeing, is this unsustainable trend that’s currently playing out once again, this time with Activision.
