>Introduces bonds/tokens
>Has overpriced shop items
>Enforces "Hate Speech Rules"
>Inserts real world socio-political stuff
>Hires millenial and gen z employees
>focuses on saturation rather than game mechanics

Am i missing something?

sounds about right. I'd also add recycling old assets and repackaging old content

World of Warcraft has been "dying" for 15 years now, 2 more weeks and they'll go bankrupt for sure this time

>tell people Horse Armor would be the catalyst for horrible practices in gamings future
>get ignored people tell me Obliviin is the best game ever
>tell people the Celestial Steed is just one of many MTX, also mention Horse Armor
>the Blizzdrones of the late 2000's all dismiss me claiming its one time gig
Now these same people want MTX to go and whine about how the industry is going to hell.

world of warcraft made 15 million dollars from that mount. it's far from dead/dying.

To be fair with oblivion the dlc was one of the last good expansions in gaming. And star...forge?fall?Citizen? whatever their most recent game was a pile of shit with zero dlc to ruin it, just pure piss poor game design from top to bottom.

While questing in Uldum I made fun of a guy in for having the original $25 celestial horse mount and I'll never forget how he had a meltdown PMing me for an 30 minutes like "how does it affect you what people spend their money on?". Paypigs can't handle when you don't congratulate them every time they spend $25 for a shot of dopamine. They short-circuit

All it takes for me to think a game is trash and desperate is crossovers
