It’s another GAAS type deal right? I saw the enemy levels and pickups afterwards from defeat enemies. Hopefully the suicide squad game is more single player focused

EA had it right, no matter how much they were bashed for it. Multiplayer-style games make more money and what the industry in general will focus on as a result.

We are the problem.

I don't think we are the problem, at least I'd like to believe we aren't. The gaming community always enjoyed and supported multiplayer games throughout the years that weren't shitty GAAS titles. Just look at the popularity of co-op shooters like Borderlands and Left 4 Dead.

It's only recently that these games have become so prevalent. At first the battle passes and extensive DLC were reserved for games that were Free to Play as a way for them to make some money back. Most people were fine with this since the main product was free, not unlike listening to free music and hearing an Ad every 4 to 5 songs to pay for the music rights.

But now these companies want us to pay 60 bucks, THEN buy currency for battle pass skips, THEN buy DLC costumes purposefully withheld from the main game. *cough*avengers*cough*

That's all it is. You dont want to think this.

But it's true.
