Games like FIFA or Madden, I have no complaints about, who could? They've been the same for generations, they always sell. The only difference now is that they have online play, which they have to fund.
Modern gaming is a joke though. PS2 era you had a game, it was finished, you got all content in the game you purchased. That was the end of it. Now? We have a 'full' game, this game is made in the knowledge that they could then release extra content down the line which you can then pay for, before the game is even out. Extra characters cost money, extra maps cost money. Sure, maybe there is a system where you can play the game and achieve things instead or you can just buy credits and cheat your way to the top. They can release half finished games and just do updates until it's fixed (makes me wonder why anyone would buy a first day release). None of this is good practice.
Modern gaming is about getting as much from us as possible and making sure we know it. Sadly people give into this and buy anyway making game companies think it's a good idea.
The only game I've seen which seemingly isn't like this is Tekken Tag 2, sure there was preorder bonuses but after 4 months all characters were available to all users (via an update mind you) and even then they released more for free. Now it does have extra content to buy but pointless stuff like music and videos which don't change the gaming experience.... even my example has bad points. Sad.
Hmm, pie.
