A cult is devotion no matter what. Religions are cults.

Correct, I have not purchased Farming Simulator 25 and probably won't. I might play it on game pass like I did for FS22 in a couple years. I have nothing against the game at its core, I sunk countless hours in to FS17, I just expected there to be actual meaningful (to me) upgrades by now, so it feels like Giants is taking the piss.
Other than the yearly part (time flies, my bad), it was all subjective. If you consider fog a meaningful update, then sure, go have fun buddy.
I criticised your favourite game, so it must not be for me.
I have played 4 of the Farming Sim games, and the last 3 have had hardly any improvements to the sim, other than some graphics and gameplay taken from mods. There's so much they could add to the simulation, but they don't and 3 years is quite a long time to iterate.
A yearly release would be fine if they actually upgraded the simulation, proper interactable interiors, more realistic crop simulation, better weather, realistic animal simulation (its literally just a menu), etc, etc, etc.
The collectors edition even includes modding tutorials, because they want modders to do their work for them.
All they do every year is upgrade some graphics to bring it in line with games from 2009. It is, as you say, a cash grab.
It's not the price that is the problem, it's how iCloud is integrated into the device, in a way Apple don't allow other cloud services to do. iCloud has access other apps simply do not, so they cannot compete fairly.
Thats fine, but if that is their focus, they should rename it to Competitive Farming or something instead of Farming Simulator.
Its the same game as the last few. They have made no actual gameplay additions, its becoming a lazy scam every year. Adding a reskinned crop isnt new gameplay.
If you disregard a belief because it is detrimental to yourself or others, then you are not in a religion, you are not in a cult, you just believe in what makes you comfortable and that is okay. Religion is fine, until it causes detriment to other people, which is what it has done in all of history.
Believe in what you like, just don't impose that on others. Live and let live.
