Garrus and Zaeed start a security company.

It's literally a braindead curated experience now. They don't openly acknowledge it, but you can see the obvious hit registration variance. They cater the experience to maximize player retention. If you continue to play while getting shit on, they'll feed you some bones once in a while, but mostly make you fodder for those who can't aim for shit and will quit easy when they lose. It goes back quite a few years.

I remember back in black ops 1 or 2 I'd go on a streak for days when I come back, then all of a sudden I start getting dunked on, even in scenarios where the situation is solidly in my favor. After a few days of that, I'd quit, try again a few days or weeks later. Low and behold, huge high-performance streak that fizzled out after a few days. That's when I started to suspect.

I had thought the same thing about World of Tanks, especially since they were already into the real money ammo crap. It makes too much sense business-wise to not turn it into a controlled odds casino game.
