    Lots was learned. They learned they can continue to move the goalposts simply forever it seems.

    Wait for the rage over this particular round to die down. Release a game with similar but slightly dialed back bullshit. Tell everyone how much better you are than them.

    Repeat until people pay $99 for the right to rent the game for $10 a month plus pay to win MTX.

    Sure DD2 is a corpse, but a new game will come growing from its corpse.

    Soon the poors won’t be able to play games anyway as that will be forbidden by their owners

      This is the nice thing about indy devs. Many of them don’t pull this shit and it is likely a large reason indy games have increasingly grown in popularity. AAA game is basically synonymous with microtranscations at this point.
