Didnt we used to do that by selling the game tho?

We also didn't expect ongoing development of games after they were shipped though, aside from bug fixes (sometimes even then )

But.... Like..... Did we ask for that? If you cant afford to keep developing a game after shipping it..... Dont?

Just make the game, wrap it up finished, and let me buy it. It doesnt need to be a subscription, I dont need to play it for 6 years, you can move on with your life and design a different game.

Ill pay cash, just give me the whole game for crying out loud

Well games used to not have Servers and be peer to peer they did not have season where New content got Put in or if they got New content they Split the Player Base Because they Sold the New maps, classes etc. So selling cosmetics and giving away the New classes maps etc is actually great. So that way the person not spending much gets New content and the person that love the game can Support them more. At the Same time Yes time is spend on Those skins etc and not New stuff but What would you like. A game being shut down and not being play able like battleborn? Or a game that gets New stuff but also New cosmetics?
