>preorder bonus>always online>early access>day-1 DLC>battle pass>season pass>expansion passHow the fuck did we end up here without anyone trying to stop it.No other hobby would have accepted this.
ANY hobby would be fucked up if it had a massive influx of new customers that had no idea of how things should be. 2007 gave the internet to WAY too many people. People with no standards that can be advertised to and brought in as cattle for business practices the original playerbase wouldnt accept.
You can ignore those all if you don't like them. It's you own problem if you can't live without all that shit. I've never bought any of that stuff. Only the normal game. Don't care for extra shit.Also playing video games isn't hobby.
