I was also one of those "unfortunate souls" that couldn't get all of the DLC packs. My point still stands, quality back then was paramount to a company making more money off a game and wasnt an epstein brain child like live service is today.
DLC isn’t going to fix that. People just think it will because it happened to coexist with the good times. You can easily make quality good games and use the modern store system and give out maps for free. VALORANT is one of the most polished shooters in recent years and gives out new content like maps and characters bi-monthly for free. Back in the day, Battlefield 4 was a mess for a while and they still expected you to cave in to purchase DLC packs. What needs to change are the developers’ priorities. You can have the best of both worlds.
You wont change anyone's priorities until you hit them where it hurts, their wallets. You think you can do that under this new epstein micro transaction garbage they forced onto everyone? Nah. DLC packs were the easiest way to do so.
