Being an old timer (Been gaming since the early 80s) , I have to say the situation we are in was our own doing.  I saw this DLC shit start to happen in the early 2000s and I never got on board with it.  I waited until GOTY editions came out on discount before I pulled the trigger.  Now, I dont even bother with 1st day purchases.  I refuse to reward this type of behavior.  I now have been shopping on steam and look at indie developers with EA titles.  Then, I wait for those to release (Been burned too many times by believing developers promises) and give these small teams my money.  Case in point, I just bought the  expansion to Grim Dawn. Not only was GD an EA title that actually finished with all promised content, but it was less than $15 when I bought it.  Year later, DLC comes out but I waited a year to buy.  Got that at a discount as well.  Now, at the same time, Shadow of War is now on deep discount (The exact same price as the indie developed DLC ).  However, WB games is known for some fuckery with loot boxes and those other shady business practices.   So, the indie developer got my cash even though I played the shit out of the first Mordor game.<br><br>This people, is how you voice your stance in the industry.  If you dont like how a company does business, then go elsewhere.  Remember, these companies NEED whats in your wallet to survive.  You dont need their game to survive.  We have all the power here and they want you to forget that.
