Day one DLC. It’s straight up bullshit. You’re telling me you have 6 different versions of a game with 6 different prices and not a single one of them come with every cosmetic?!?!
So you can buy the “I’m a fucking idiot ultimate bullshit edition” of a game for $300. It will come with a physical map, a statue, and the game with the pre-order bonus. The pre order bonus will be like 3 different skins and some in game currency. Then you load up the game, go to the market place and see that the ultimate edition came with 1000 points, but there will be 15 different things in the market place, and the cheapest item is 1200. No big deal, right? You just need to buy 200 more points. Sure, they already got $300 out of you, but what’s two more? Then you go to buy the currency and see that the smallest bundle is 1000 points. Another ten dollars. Then you realize that you’ve now got 800 points left over, but everything cost 1200, so now you gotta go back and spend another ten dollars to get one more thing…
This will go on forever until the little kid who begged his parents to buy this edition of the game is getting brutally screamed at for not understanding he’s in a trap of addiction created by a bunch of evil fucking fucks that would initiate slavery if it were legal.
Fuck me I miss the days when video games were about people trying to make a profit through their passion, and not being bossed around by some soulless assholes.
