Yep, and to keep that access to games (and their livelihood) most of them have to talk well about games or risk being cut off.
I wonder if more games will go the Lost Ark route and make the massive paywall at the endgame. Then reviewers will play the games for 30+ hours and it’s still fun, but then hit that endpoint and if you don’t open up your wallet you don’t go anywhere.
Paywall at the end is some sociopathic behavior previously unknown to me. I have to respect the ingenuity of that, even though it is despicable.
It’s why Lost Ark fell off so hard.
I played it for a while and it is some of the best ARPG out there. The cities feel lively and the world was great, even got a boat. But then realizing with the endgame in order to get groups it was either farm eight hours a day or start spending money. Lots of money. No thanks
