For example “micro-transactions”, when the game is 40$, and the cheapest item in the store is 10$ and you can only buy in-game points in bundles starting from 5$.

These are not micro-transactions dammit!!

micro means BELOW 1$.

This shit is just transactions and MACRO-transactions.

Another one is “battle pass” while in reality they offer a reward track.

The entire point of battle pass is that through enough battles you get a free pass, which is why Fortnite’s was so successful and why people wanted more of it in the industry.

But every other devs/studios/company just puts a reward track (with paid and non-paid version) and calls it a battle pass without the most important feature: the free pass you get if you battle enough.

What other terms come to mind?
