We've reached a point, where I am just outright afraid to buy games.
Because, there is no way to know, what kind of monetization will it have.
I have postponed buying Monster hunter for Years, because it looksed like some kind of truly predatory MMO (the name "world" implied that seriously...), even though, the game is actually a full product.
@icedquinn
Is it not hard though?
I cannot figure it out with some of them.
When I look at Forza 4 for example, I have no idea what kind of a game I am getting before they ask me for my credit card. (considering the ammount of DLCs.)
@icedquinn
Lego games are even funnier. I have installed the "DC super villains" from a brothers library, and a DLC had literally ruined the game. (It included characters with abilities, that I seriously shouldn't have had access to.)
Some games you can turn it off or never buy the DLC or something. I haven't paid tynan tax this time cause I really just don't care I didn't get 30$ of fun out of ideology and I'm going to play something else this month
