1) Cite me these games.

2) I know MMO's that doesn't, I'll give you small list of those if you want.

3) It is no excuse to set this up into RPG's that are single player experience first and foremost.

I'm at work so I'll do a proper reply when I'm at home, but the first game to come to mind is World of Warcraft, and people actually WANT the ability to buy new character slots in Final Fantasy XIV, but I've not played in over a year so it might actually be a thing now.

Except those games give you the option of creating a new character free of charge if you want, Metal Gear Survive doesn't.

  • WoW gives you up to 16 character slots per server for free.
  • ESO gives you 8 free character slots.
  • FFXIV only charges for additional characters on the same server, you can create as many characters as there are servers without paying extra and you can play all classes on one character.

So no, not the same thing at all.

Even if those "other games" did do precisely what MGS does:

1)Other companies conducting shady business practices doesn't make it okay.
2)Like Mar1217 said, it doesn't excuse putting this in RPGs that are all about the single-player experience.
3)Konami is no position to pull shit like this after all their scummy business practices, case in point.
