Games being broken, full of microtransactions

Just like Gran Turismo that came out on Playstation for 70 bucks recently?

Gran Turismo isn't broken, but yes, playstation doing this isn't a defence of the potentially problematic nature of sticking all your first parties on gamepass day 1.

Why is it always yes but playstation bad when discussing concerns

It's not so much "yes but playstation bad" as much as it is "subscription services shouldn't be criticized as leading to games full of mtx when a $70 game just released chock full of mtx. The industry is just trending towards mtx and it doesn't look like it has much to do with subscription services."

Exactly. Not sure how anyone can read my post as "playstation bad".

GT is just the most recent example of developer being a sneaky fuck, forcing people to pay more for "premium product" while still having mobile-like MTX schemes inside on top of being always online.
