    Every single element of these games isn’t designed to make you want to spend money 😂. Going by your hate for them along with that terrible comment shows that you don’t know what you’re talking about.

    Almost every single live service game now just has optional cosmetics as the microtransactions. That’s the opposite of what you’re saying.

      Just imagine if they included all the stuff you didn’t buy as part of the game instead!

        That content wouldn’t exist if it wasn’t a live service game.

          Bullshit. There are tons of games with lots of variety that don’t require microtransactions to access.

          Especially ones that are mod friendly so extra cosmetics are free for everyone and doesn’t cost the developer a dime.

            Just because some games have certain content on disk doesn’t mean others would. At some stage a game has to be cut for release and is “content complete” for printing. With live service games they continue creating content to sell in-game. With non live service games they don’t.

            If you’re going to bring mods into it then that’s a completely different conversation.
