You know it’s never going to work. People complain, complain, and the complain and shout some more, but at the end of the day, they still go line up on day one to buy the f-ing game.

“just don’t reward the predatory parts of it that ask for additional money.”

Based on the insistence of the PC that everyone else is NOT being PC, not even when they try to, then yes: I would say that according to you people, ‘not being an asshole’ is really hard indeed. Nothing’s ever good enough for you. Whatever is offered is never enough. So I’ve simply stopped trying.
