And every other company will try the same thing until people get apathetic and the backlash becomes manageable, then more companies will follow suit because theres money to made until eventually its just the norm and most people dont give a shit or actively defend it because "They're a business, they need to make money somehow!!!!" or some other apologist bullshit.

Its the same way we went from Bethesda Horse armour being a big deal that people pushed back against, to the same type of shitty DLC being the expected industry norm now.

I really hate those apologetic corp shills with a passion. Like how with OW2, when they introduced anextremely expensive shop system and a BP you can't earn in game (after buying OW1 for money). Then they crawl out of their little holes and proclaiming "last time I checked OW2 is f2p, why do you all complain so much???" Ugh...
