DLC isn’t about squeezing money from consumers, it’s about “over-delivering”

Preorder bonuses are not an example of nickle and diming.

Evolve is dead and buried and largely apologized for.

I don't think Borderlands is good example of poor value as the additional content that Gearbox has been as been great.

As far as Wrestling, I didn't know they still made those games.

Even then, the stuff that gets monetized is largely fluff that doesn't affect the game experience at all. T2 and Ubisoft have done very well in the past year or so about driving up and maintaining engagement and MAU.

Dude, Evolve came out LAST YEAR. 2K17 came out LAST MONTH, whether you're aware of it or not.

This isn't over-delivering. It's charging people for content that is either superfluous or should have been included in the base game. If you like 2K games, that's great. Doesn't change the reality of the situation.

I had to look this up, but until Civ 6 came out, the last T2 game I played was Bioshock Infinite.

So I wouldn't say I just blindly love this company. Regardless, their most successful and well known games are examples of doing right by your fans. Focusing on Evolve and company instead of the context to what he's actually referencing is where we disagree.
