monster hunter world is a shining example of what video games should be with regards to monetization
make a great game
one $20 purchase to play the game
dlc is either incredibly substantial (iceborne)
or small cosmetic items that do not affect the gameplay experience
no microtransactions, no dual currencies where one is an analog for real money, no bullshit time gating
you buy the game, you play the game, you have fun
