New DLC system EA edition

Hmmm
Cant agree with you...But I wont decline this either :D
Not all the people are corrupted so there is still hope ;)

But it can be clear at least. Companies like Blizzard acting like they're renting their games, if you want to play you have to be connected to internet. Bethesda tried to sell mods, failed. If it's just cosmetics, i don't see anything wrong with the DLCs.

There are different paying systems we know. If you running MMO-like game, there are monthly fees. They're continue to developing / adding new things to game and in the reaction they continue to get paid. If you have a single-player game, it's a finished job and you should take money once. You can't sell the same ice-cream twice. But today, we frequently see, companies trying to sell their unfinished jobs, on the top of it they're also trying to get paid from the missing parts of the game. Now this is a problem. How can this problem be solved? They must see the people not buying it.

In the end, yes that's mostly true, if there is money there is problem. But we can get over it.

Good luck with other companies doing the same practises, they will dig their grave as EA is doing. Plus every game that is using EA practises are mostly shit in the end. I cant even name a good game with op microtransactions like battlefront 2.

Thanks to GOG and CD Project Red, there is still hope.

Why are they evil when they just give us what we want? You describe very clearly some groups of people that want it; for imaginary or real advantages in-game, for You-Tube fame, or because they don't think about it because daddy pays. Isn't it them (and the daddy) that is evil then, slowly molding these companies for us?

You are correct that one person cannot change this, but one person can change everything for themselves. You don't like the the payment model, don't buy it. That changes all for you. You don't like the tv-show you change the channel. What you don't do is keep watching for years while calling the producer or director evil?

I mean: We are all completely, 100% bosses over our own cash - but at regular interval we place our need to have a (shitty?) product before our need to not support a payment plan we don't like. That's our choice, not theirs. Our fault, not theirs. They're not evil, they are just using rather common marketing principles to part us of our money, principles used in many, if not all, other businesses.
It plays on our need to have, and when that need to have is greater than the need to protect our own wallets then you end up here. Don't blame EA, blame the buyers. And if you don't like it, just step away from it, it will change your situation drastically - you won't have to deal with it at all. And then if EA wants you back, they can do nothing about that except offer you a better product.

I'm not saying this is easy to do; We do have the need to have, EA are good at doing the game we think we want, so it puts us in a vice built from our own conflicting emotions. But that's life, eh? It never is easy. Not buying the game will make you feel good that you didn't fall in the trap, but it will also leave you without the game. Effed if you do, effed if you don't, eh? Life is fun like that.

You mean like this? :P

You want to lose hope, just look at this
https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2018/03/12/survive-state-decay-2-collectors-edition/

At Xbox, we focus on giving players a lot of choices to show their love for our franchises. Last week, we announced that State of Decay 2 will be launching on May 22, 2018 with both a Standard Edition and an Ultimate Edition (as well as a part of Xbox Game Pass). Today, we have something new to announce for the zombie survival fan: the State of Decay 2 Collector’s Edition.
The Collector’s Edition includes an exclusive SteelBook® case, zombie mask, and “thumb-drive,” this collectible edition also includes a State of Decay 2 patch and a human brain SteelBook® stand. Fans can pre-order the Collector’s Edition today at their favorite retailer for $69.99. Please note, that State of Decay 2 Collector’s Edition only includes items pictured above.
Zombie survival fans can play State of Decay 2 as an Xbox Game Pass member, purchase the Standard Edition for $29.99, or the Ultimate Edition for $49.99 to get early access. May 22 is coming – How will you Survive?
Editor’s Note: We have updated the post above to clarify that a copy of the game is not included in the State of Decay 2 Collector’s Edition

Sword of the Stars: The Pit already had DLC of the DLC ( Juggernaut and Pilgrim packs requires Gold edition DLC)

There's a Train (or other vehicle) simulator with loads of DLCs which makes DoA5 look cheap. Then again it's a really niche product with a loyal and satisfied customer base.
Edit: http://store.steampowered.com/app/24010/Train_Simulator/
About 5900$. Of course no pay2win here :D

http://store.steampowered.com/app/269950/XPlane_11/
800 USD+

http://store.steampowered.com/app/8500/EVE_Online/
~1500 USD and many of t is repeatable microtransactions.

http://store.steampowered.com/app/314160/Microsoft_Flight_Simulator_X_Steam_Edition/
~4500 USD

Rimworld also had a 350 USD or something along that lines DLC. And it wasn't even a hoax or scam.

Plus there is this (a positive example on how Russian indie devs can make genuinely great games on Steam, not just blatant asset flips):
http://store.steampowered.com/app/710790/Star_Story_The_Horizon_Escape__ArtBook_PDF_Devs_support_pack/
A 200-dollar artbook. But it is also admitting to be a donation to upkeep the game it is associated to.

Meh, the only way it'll have any lasting effect is if it's already too late and the potential whales have already moved on to the next game.
'Cause then the game will also lose it's long-term potential to the share-holders, who'll then get up in arms about not getting all the profitz.
And that's the only real thing that can chance one of these big, publically traded companies.
