      The worst culprits though are the EAs and Paradoxes of the world that sell dozens of DLCs for games that cumulatively cost far more than the base game itself.

        That practice doesn’t invalidate the need of extra revenue streams for smaller studios

        Edit: updated original comment to make context clear

            Edited my comment to make it clear that I was talking about indies, I can provide some more context later if it’s still not obvious why
