  • Excellent comment. I’ve been playing more free to play games simply for the reason you mentioned, it’s clear those games will have developers working on them for a long time. Games like PUBG or Fortnite (hate it or love it), and more recently, The Finals (absolutely love that game) are clearly going to have dev resources available for a very long time.

    That said, I never spent a dime on GTA online, even though I played that for quite a bit. It didn’t appeal to me as much for some reason. I think seeing devs adding cool things makes me want to buy a little something for all the enjoyment I’m getting - especially when it cost me nothing to start. With Rockstar (or Activision) I feel a lot of negative feelings about giving them money when it’s clear they’re trying to cut costs and maximize profits at every turn by holding features back or removing them and keeping them locked behind a paywall. The other games I mentioned let you play 100% of the game and money is more for actual bonus content that’s mostly irrelevant. It’s weirdly ironic, actually
