My issue with this is developers already do this, or intentionally cut content/hold back to release as DLC down the line. The excuses come out as "We had to make deadline", or "it just didn't work for the story" etc etc, and it leaves me with a bad taste in my mouth, especially when they then try to justify crates as well.

I get you're someone who used to do loot-crates etc, and as such your bias is going to, somewhat naturally, lean toward them, but no-one is asking the studios to spend hundreds of millions on one game, hell, i've had 30hours of fun with Sky Force Anniversary this past month and it was a PS+ offering, i paid pennies for it if you break down the subscription price. No crates, no MtX, no additional payments, and it didn't cost CLOSE to the premium costs your average CoD does.

Things like Bioshocks story DLC, hell, even Enslaved: Odyssey to the West managed a decent, reasonably priced DLC campaign, that's what i would pay for.

Instead we get games riddled with these crates, supply drops, mirian, gold, zeni, gems, shells, dollahs, cash, which are inevitably going to have some semblance of bias toward necessitating them (I.E, Shadow of War), and we get told "you don't need them, they're for people who are time-poor", all the while not being able to go past a screen without an in-game currency advert sitting in the damn corner constantly reminding you that you're having 65% of the fun you could be having.

I never used to want it, but i hope gov't regulation steps in and decimates the games industry, yes it would suck but it would level the field and allow us to move forward sans MtX.

Question, does a bear shit in the woods?

Serious question, have you seen anything that gave you pause for thought/concern in relating to our impact/interactions with bears? Perhaps things such as finding litter/food wrappings near where they den, or other items. Or perhaps even how they regarded you as an intruder near their areas etc, where they "natural" or did they seem somewhat used to human contact?
