Gaming

I'm really tired of "early access" being a thing.

If you are creating a playable version and selling it for money, that is a release. They just hide behind that "Early access" tag so they can use it as a shield against any and all criticism. And some of these games have been in "Early Access" for YEARS.

I also hate pre-order bonuses because it not only makes you pre-order a game, which I am loathe to do in most cases, but they often have exclusive content for different locations you pre-order at so no matter what, you're going to be missing something and I despise that.

I hate day 1 DLC that re-adds stuff that was already finished for the game that they simply took out and locked behind DLC to milk more money.

And of course, I hate microtransactions existing in a game you have to pay for. Games should either be FREE and supported by microtransaction shops OR they should be FREE and you pay a monthly subscription to play them OR you should pay a one-time sticker price to have unlimited access to all of its content. I am getting so tired of so many games charging you money to buy it, and charging you money monthly, AND having a store on top of it. The greed is so beyond intolerable.
