I still find it sad that we went from laughing at paid horse armor DLC in Oblivion to fully embracing it. I still really don’t understand why you would ever pay for a battle pass or randomized loot boxes.
Once upon a time patches/DLC was really just expansion packs that you bought. And then eventually patches were a little more easily available through websites but it was much more manual. Bugs/exploits were part of the fun.
I remember when Steam was launched as well as the excitement when they first started selling non-valve games. I thought it was going to be a curated selection of games versus a giant marketplace. I still own Rag Doll Kung Fu / Sin Episodes Emergence.
While I might kick a few bucks towards a game with a store I’m never investing more than a grand total of $50 towards one game. I only buy something on sale as well, I’ve got thousands of games in my backlog without including retro games.
