Millions of people enjoy those games, and it's not like them existing is harming anyone.

I disagree. It's also harming the games - Assassin's Creed Odyssey is more grindy just to sell IAP - in a full priced game!


So don't buy it? I don't play AC / COD / FIFA games for this very reason.


Just think about what could exist if those titles weren't refreshed every year or two. It takes time to build a marginally nicer sequel and all the in all purchases to go along with it, but that doesn't add substantially to the selection of high production quality titles.

I'm sad that gaming seems to be preying on addictions (IAP are definitely addicting) rather than innovating.
