Charge reasonable prices and don't fill the game with bullshit. If not I won't buy it. It's not a necessity, they do not and have never needed to do this predatory nonsense.
Deep Rock Galactic for example, proves that quite well. The game is beloved and survives entirely on the list price and cosmetics.
Personally I'd rather the industry just bring back private server capacity for users like in the heyday of online games.

no arguments here. I miss LANplay and private servers, too.

Seven years and counting. It's simple really. I have requirements of what I want if they want my money.

People have been doing that for decades. Where have you been?
not sure what you're referring to specifically, could you clarify?
