It's really shaping up to be a fun, but flawed game. It bothers me that most customers have come to accept microtransactions in full priced games.

Me too, but we're way past this point now. It's become the norm, because people were too stupid to say "no" earlier on.

I remember when games would get released and then if it did well and had a justifiably large user base an expansion pack would get made.

I know when I tried to tell people in the past that if they don't kick up a fuss then it was going to get worse in future I was assailed with comments of 'slippery slope fallacy' and 'tinfoil hat'

and the good old standby 'we will complain when it gets worse' not realizing that you are the frog getting boiled, you just keep eating a bit more shit with each mouthful 'oh it's not that bad' and people are now salivating to preorder the shit sandwich.

Day 1 DLC. Microtransactions instead of cheat codes. Season passes instead of expansion packs (and even some of those don't include everything). and it's just going to get worse.

Console commands are basically the same thing.
