Always good to see someone in the industry push back on all of these shitty tactics the AAA publishers want to push.

Because games are made subscription-based for profit, so the incentive isn't making a good game or giving the players more content or whatever.

The games that want to give the players more actual content have no subscription, like Terraria, Deep Rock Galactic, Stardew Valley or other fantastic games that keep getting free updates.

Maybe you could exclude early WoW from that statement but current WoW definitely fits in the greedy bag too.
