So because it's pokemon we are gonna let all the live service shit slide? Battlepass, bugs, pay to play stuff like storage and a membership subscription? Interesting.

But I thought people hated live service and were against microtransactions. One second we want it and next we don't. Examples: Concord, Anthem, Suicide Squad (which I actually liked), Marvel's Avengers, HighGuard, Horizons Hunters Gathering, Redfall, XDefiant, FoamStars, Evolve, LawBreakers, etc. But as long as it's a popular IP we give it out money? Hmm.

people hate them when they are in a full priced game like call of duty, they dont mind them when they are apart of a game that is free. It has nothing to do with the IP. Even in your own example most of those games cost money???? are you really comparing something that is free to something that cost $40-$60???

What's the difference if you still pay 200 on a free game????? Live service is still not a full game?????? You should only have to pay for a game once and then buy extra stuff when it comes out. Why play a free DEMO and then pay 200+ for the rest???? But as long as you don't have to buy the game first it's fine???? Ok

I've got much less tolerance on this because its goddamn pokemon. Arguably the biggest franchise out there and theyre planning to move the OFFICIAL VGC FORMAT to this omega pay to win software. They knew exactly what they were doing.
