I wish these marketing people could see where all this is heading. There is an eventual outcome to all this greed...
Eventually when you buy a game, you get one player model, one gun, one song that loops forever one map, one stance on one license. You want to go to the next level? Gotta pay.
Wish that hill had some trees on it? It will if you pay.
Notice that the buildings in this post-apocalyptic world look like something from super mario world? Pay and they might change the scenery models to something more realistic.
Want that gun to get a targeting reticle? $20 please.
There are several RTS and FPS games that follow this model and they have been and shall remain garage games specifically for this reason. Nobody will pay to unlock parts of a game they paid for. As if $60 and $80 games arent enough, now you cant even play the complete game without a $20 monthly subscription (even if it is an FPS with offline bots) and hoping to god your computer doesnt die or require a new video card, changing your hardware setup and voiding your license? Its greed in one of its purest forms.
Game companies need to get a grip and realize they cant turn into the RIAA just to make their fiscal sales goals and expect everyone to wet themselves whenever they release another EULA contract disguised as a game.
Ill be using Epic's game disks as coasters from here on out thanks.
