I think the really scary thing that is only sort of mentioned in the article is ads coming as updates. Once a game has critical acclaim, won a ton of awards, but is not mostly collecting dust, why wouldn't you throw in some ads to "support live services". I also wouldn't be surprised to see classic games released for free with an ad supported model and the original version the fans all know and love being unavailable.
- integricho 2y agohell no. if they sold a title to you, that you own now, they must provide a way for the title to be playable as-is, without shoveling a ton of ads down our throats. if the title is single player, it must be playable offline, if the title is multiplayer, they must release server components for self-hosting. that is as simple as it should and must be. we have to punish them and hold them accountable for selling titles that they lock us out of in a short amount of time. that is basically theft. fuck EA, and basically most of the AAA studios overall. i will never support such behavior.
