I wish people would stop talking about CDPR as this wonderful beacon of light. They're also one of the only game studios in the west that has government funding. Google it a bit if you're not aware of this, it isn't news.<br><br>And to be honest, we only have other gamers to blame for this. Companies are organizations for making money. They push the envelope and see where the line is. They started the disgusting DLC/season pass schema many years ago and so many gamers went for it while those of us railing against it were shouted down or (most likely) ignored. I've personally never actually bought a DLC. I've bought GOTY editions that had DLCs but never a DLC as it came out. These companies have kept up this behavior and in some cases pushed it further because of what they saw in consumer habits. I mean, look how far they've had to push it to actually finally make most gamers outraged. It's insane. We should have been yelling when they asked for a subscription to keep playing various MMOs (not sure if WoW was first on this so everyone can insert the MMO they recall doing this first here). Console players should have boycotted when Sony and Microsoft forced them to pay a subscription just to get online. Oh yes, paying your ISP (two companies in the case of my country) and buying a console and a TV and games is quite a sum as it is. Having to pay them just to get online is ridiculous and yet, I can bet anything there will be fools that try to rationalize it in reply to this comment.<br><br>So, yeah, I really think we largely have ourselves to blame with how the gaming industry has gone. Companies change practices based on broad consumer reactions and we gobbled up shitty practices for years so SURPRISE they pushed the limits to see where the line was. I'm definitely not trying to get on a high-horse here. I've made mistakes as well. Put money into stupid shit I shouldn't have (e.g. bullshit, fake currencies that were tweaked just so we were encouraged to buy more of it to get more stuff such as League of Legends).
