Honestly at this point those fanbases are allowing companies to expand on anti-consumer practices to a similar degree as sports games. I wouldn't feel bed if they started being left behind as well

You're not wrong. I would never install a rootki- I mean anti-cheat on my machine regardless. But the point stands.

No one's "allowing" companies, the companies see the profits from MTX and are going full steam ahead in that direction. The users that don't spend on MTX aren't considered because they're not profitable.

Ok...

How the fuck do you not understand this connection and how your 2 statements contradict each other? Players are ALLOWING this slop (not just MTX, which you laser focussed on for no reason) by continuing to give them money.

Stop just repeating thoughtless "gotchas" when they're (at best) only marginally relevant. Come up with actual arguments.

There's an old relevant quote: "it's better to keep your mouth closed and thought a fool than to open it and remove all doubt"
