I get the greed thing, but the issue I have is the merit of the game and the stuff Suck Punch managed to add that everyone else would have charged for:
1) cosmetic extras
2) variety of armours
3) extra modes
Sony games seem to be following this format where the game itself gives you a ton of stuff that would usually cost extra. Spidey is another example with the costumes, GTS with every car, track and extras free.
It's a £10 upgrade which is far better than them having charged for the DLC they gave for free and then charging extra again for the new DLC. You still have the option of playing the PS4 version or waiting for the PS5 version to go cheap. In a way, you get the best of both worlds.
The arguement of tools getting better etc is invalid since games are more demanding. We've seen numbers of people hired and companies hired grow from 10 to hundreds. We demands more, and companies have to deliver more:
1) better AI
2) better textures
3) better assets
4) more assets
5) better animation
6) better actors and voice actors
7) better stories
8) better dialogue
9) more quests
10) better quests
11) set pieces
12) bosses
13) better music
14) more options
15) more FX
16) better FX
17) longevity
18) multiplayer
19) replayability
20) more and more and more
All these things come at a price and studios have to pay for it. And we argue in forums about Devs not getting paid enough, and crunch and not having sociable hours. Guess what? To get these things for Devs, companies outsource which costs money.
With Ghost, they are working on a sequel. They developed free DLC with Legends, then went to work on The directors cut whilst another team works on a sequel. We want the Devs to get paid, yet we want the upgrade for free?! We need to be consistent with what we want and how we want to support the studio's we like.

You are paying for the DLC, its not free.
Paying for extra DLC isnt the problem. Its the PS5 tax.

Inflation is a tricky area because it's not linear: there's socio-economic value that has to be accounted for. In other words, if the dollar is suddenly worth half, the price of goods would not simply double to maintain the same "value". This is WAYYY too big of a topic to bring up here, but inflation is not as simple as people make it out to be, not that the cost of living (at least here in America in more tech focused cities) hasn't vastly outpaced minimum wage in large part due to inflation... lol

You keep reinforcing how spot-on I was.

But here, I’ll give you what you want: “What a good and funny review format you chose for yourself. So clever and imaginative! There’s really nothing I can imagine you could do to be better! So, so good!”

You really are proving you only see/hear what you want to... As if no one criticizes or disagrees in which, unlike you, I've proven I'm willing to have civil discourse.
"You suck, you're bad, cringe" is not civil discourse. That is why my responses to you are short: conversation with you is impossible because you simply do not like me but lack the ability and honesty to state it and move on.

I have been honest from my first comment here. See how you’re taking it.

Hynad why dont you step out and explain why you dont like his videos instead of saying "its bad, its cringe" im curious to see your side of it.
If you are going to claim something is bad than give merit.
