Off-topic, anyone remember the early days of rockpapershotgun? Goddamn i miss the stylings of the og writers. Now it's just another game site but I'll never forget some of their early pieces

Yeah, they had a really good thing going on and it's sad that it didn't last.

Guess I will stick to warframe, No Man's Sky and BG3.

No Man's Sky is the other extreme, I actually feel kinda embarrassed that I get so much new content without paying for it.

Like, other companies would make it into 20 DLCs already. And even the non-shitty companies would make at least 2 DLCs out of the content.

I think they redeemed the shitty start many times over, they should really charge for some DLC.

Just recently start Skyrim again, with a laundry list of mods, of course.

In the grand scheme of nickel-and-diming I wouldn't call this abysmal

This is the mentality that ruins it for the rest of us. It's shameful.

Well scratch that off of a game I will ever play

Don't buy these predatory games, refund if you did. Stop supporting these scummy companies, it's the only way they will learn.

Nothing inside a video game should cost real money.

Only legislation will fix this.

they have been doing this for a while. at least since dragons dogma online. In monster hunter worlds I used cheats to give myself the cosmetic edit currency item but no idea if that works in any others.

DD2 is highly cheatable and moddable, the cash shop is just a really poor joke honestly. The game has absolutely no way to check for cheating unless you give your pawn equipment they can't actually use or edit their stats to be something impossible.
