ANTHEM IS GOING TO BE TRASH

What do mean they were once included in games? Games used to never even have updates until consoles started getting connected to the internet, you would buy a game and that was it, no free dlc, no paid dlc, no extra content at all. I have no problem with them charging money for cosmetic items like skins, gaming companies pay salary to keep designers on staff to make these extras for customers, you think they should just pay their workers and not receive any money for that work? If they didn’t charge customers for these cosmetic items then the majority of those items would never exist in the first place. Why do you think games like Grand Theft Auto online are still popular even though they were released years ago? It’s all because of micro transactions, if they just gave away all these items for free then they would never be able to keep all their servers and extra stuff going because it would end up making the company lose money. Like I said, if you want to be upset at pay to win then I’m 100% with you, but to say companies have to keep making extra content for games without receiving any money is just selfish.
