Doom, Seriously.

This is nothing new. Customer's money hasn't been enough for a long time. Why else do you think publishers are always on the lookout for new opportunities to make money? DLC, micro transactions, subscriptions, season passes, legendary editions. All designed to press more money out of the consumer than they would've paid.

That's either because making games is expensive or because they're inefficient with the money they're getting.

It has been happening for the whole last gen. This gen is only capitalizing on the fact that certain money getting techniques are institutionalized now.

It definetly started last gen, but the issue is that it started with this gen. If anything, these changes are increasing at a more rapid rate then ever before. This rampant mobilization might be what's best for buisness, but its not good for gamers, and its definetly not good for conventional consoles.

Hence teh doom is real
