You said it best, corporate greed. It sucks the gaming industry has moved to this model of selling their customers junk. I still personally value the in game cosmetics that you earn over store bought ones. I know this is different for a single player game but still frustrating nonetheless.
This only works if it’s Skyrim.
Agreed. Also Game of the year editions for games that have one award from some obscure website in lickmydikistan. Though I appreciate the Game of the year complete editions that really contain all DLC, years after release. Actually feels like I am getting the whole game.
New game releases can be exhausting with the amount of editions they sell. A lot of companies rely on FOMO too which makes things even worse...
People always say that the only solution is to vote with your wallet, but clearly the average consumer is a moron so maybe some regulation of pricing models is in order.
Average consumer these days eat all this shit up unfortunately.
People preorder any old shit, they buy the ultra deluxe editions because they get some red boots for a character and the new thing thats hot right now: X days early access!
People have 0 patience atm, they dont wanna wait a month to see if a game sucks or to save a bit of money, they fork over anything for anything and its completely ruined the triple A gaming scene, with it trickling down into less budgeted games now.
When I learned that people actually buy even the deluxe digital edition of games I was blown away.
That's their way of advertising the game as "starting at 59.99" but the game then coerces you into spending an extra sixty dollars for the privilege of actually playing the whole game.
