I don't know about you chaps but I absolutely detest the modern approach companies have with their franchises and games.

I remember you'd get the game on disc and that was it. Or maybe a expansion to go with it which improved it 100%

An example would be say the mortal kombat games, you used to be able to have all the characters or Unlock them. But now you gotta pay up to 100% the game if you want everything.

What rustles your jimmies lads?

Thank you!

Microtransactions annoy me, sure. But the season pass, live service, bullshit stuff pisses me off more. It's just a step towards what I hate about apps on my phone these days. There are so many apps that require a subscription but have no recurring fees or content updates. I'm talking calendar apps, or apps for taking notes, etc.

Ubisoft guy recently implied he wants to take things this direction but it's not that far off with their games already.
