While we're on GaaS.... I think that MS has done a good job of not making monetization too intrusive in their games. The same goes for Sony, and Nintendo. It's the third-party publishers that are pushing GaaS in sometimes uncomfortable ways. But, even there, I think many games, the last two Ass Creed games being a great example, do a fine job of balancing their need to make.money with the player's desire to not be constantly asked to swipe their credit card.

In other words, while there certainly have been some badly implemented systems in some games, GaaS and MTs in most games just aren't as terrible as some gamers make them out to be. People just seem to want to be outraged about one thing or another.

Some people never fail to entertain me on this site. People that dont play Xbox will say Xbox doesnt care for SP games and will think this way because MS published 1 game that is GAAS which is Sea of Thieves, a game marketing and sold as a complete MP game.

They choose to forget that they published one of the best story telling games in Ori and are publishing Ori 2. 

You are correct that its the 3rd party publisheres that are driving GAAS in the wrong direction. I am a huge WoW player for 15 years, that's a GAAS game which was awesome for so many years.
