It’s like when I used to play madden/nba games as teen, nearly everyone complained about getting the same game every year but gladly paid nearly 100 hundred bucks for nothing but roster upgrades
Like this is obviously small potatoes in the scope of things but why do people behave this way about all services that objectively fuck them over
“haha check it out guys, I just bought an expansion pack for a single player game that cost $2. This is gonna blow up in their faces so hard.”
And it did blow up in their faces - which is to say a minor PR dip wisped past them and then a huge pile of minimal-effort cash blew up into their faces.
So that is to say, I’m sorry future generations. We thought it would turn out funnier than this. :(
How did we just get to a point where we collectively allowed even digital games to cost this much
Like, that’s incomprehensible. I think the ubiquitous digital age of everything is what fried people’s brains, not Trump
The immortal science probably has a better explanation though
Everyone made fun of horse armor. Everyone also bought horse armor.
Also worth remembering the time that Microsoft forced Valve to charge money for new Left for Dead maps that were free on PC.

Plenty of us bought it as a joke!
