Actually, since we're on the subject on MTX, apparently that Chocobo Racing game on Switch is even worse than GT7! You pay like $60 for the game and then you have to grind endlessly or pay more money for additional characters like Cloud or Squall. People are pretty pissed. Game is supposed to be incredibly barebones and just a total MTX-fest GAAS SE game.
...just like Bablyon's Fall
....just like Avengers...
SE making the worst GAAS/MTX stuff on the market. When they try this shit on a mainline FF or DQ, people gonna rage hard.
It's funny because FF14 does it at a pretty reasonable middleground that is pricey, but ok enough that people don't gripe too hard and SE makes bank. You pay for the box game each expansion and you pay monthly sub fee and maybe some extra subs for like extra characters or retainer storage which is still a decent amount of $$$ (FF14 costs me like $200/year I think?), but you get a lot of content for your money and nothing else MTX is shoved in your face too much. There's accessories and mounts for ripoff prices at their store but it's all optional. You also have the option of just waiting until the expansions are on sale and getting a month free with them and beating it during that and leaving or just subbing for a month here and there and catching up and bailing.
The second SE tries to adjust the FF14 economy to pull more money out of it like these MTX/GAAS stuff they're doing...gonna be bad times.
