If they make a game worth $70 then I'll buy it. The problem is people making a game worth $20 then pricing it at $70
The problem is people making a game worth $20 stuffing it to the brim with MTX, Loot-Boxes, season passes, on-Disc-DLC and other post-launch monetization schemes and then pricing it at $70
My "favorite" are cosmetic DLCs for singleplayer games and ones that are basically just paid cheat codes.
Eh, i won't ever care about cosmetic DLCs for any game (as in, i won't buy it because who gives a shit, but i definitely won't mind it's existence).
Fuck any game that releases the aforementioned paid cheat codes though.
