Abstract

To show that microtransactions should be considered cheating I compare established arguments used in sports that are meant to convince that certain behaviors, like steroid use, should be considered cheating. There are complications because steroid use is prohibited by the rules but microtransactions are promoted by game developers. We can still point out the ways in which they are unfair and that is worth trying to argue for.
