    Yeah. I already don’t do trading card games because of this. Having an expiration date on the cards sounds even dumber. Kinda sad how everything nowadays has to get milked into oblivion. Really kills the fun of many games, but unfortunately people still buy into it. Reminds me also how “micro” transactions ended up ruining the mmorpg genre. Everything is just so over-commercialized nowadays (same for the internet).

      So I think it was “games played” “contracts” and there were ways to earn extensions through normal play when I briefly played the single player part a while back. I recognized the giant trap for what it was and bailed and am not sure the current state, but if it did exist and is scummy and makes them more money, I’d be surprised if they walked it back.
