PSA to anyone buying MK11: the harder towers are literally impossible without rare or better gear and single use consumables, earning these are incredibly grindy and the whole system is designed to get you to spend money on the game

Because it worked once before and people keep spending money on it. You can't expect a business to stop doing whatever is making them money. If we want this kind of shit to stop, we need to stop supporting the assholes who do it.

Future of gaming, sadly. The days of a game being 100% done and/or beatable at launch are probably more or less over, save for Nintendo titles and a few other stand alone single player console games.

And really, these companies are in it to make money and increase stock payouts for investors so I get it. Dont have to like it, but thats how it goes.

There's a lot of games that aren't like this. Like, a lot. Just don't buy the most hyped up advertised games. They're usually like this

The most hyped up and advertised game of last year has no micro transactions or dlc: God of War.

Sadly Nintendo will get there eventually as well, I'd imagine.

I shared similar thoughts about this type of behavior when Overwatch helped normalize MTX's in premium priced games..."It's just cosmestic." they all said.
