I don’t know man, sometimes I think that they just found a way to monetize some newer games in a way that they know that 10% of gamers will spend more money than the 90% ever would and with live services (whales), loot boxes, card packs, etc. a company can monetize a game for a long time without adding too many new assets.

Maybe I’m off base here, who knows? So many newer games fall flat for me. I had more fun playing neverwinter nights (2002) than I have playing newer games for a while. There are still good games being made, please don’t misunderstand me, just not as many of them from my point of view.
