Have they considered the likelihood of the increased toxicity being due to their business model and product performance?

No?

I didn't think so.

Toxicity is inexcusable.

Greed is inexcusable.

Toxicity is a consequence.

It's a video game, you really don't have to play it. Just don't buy it if you don't like the devs so much.

I didn't. I never played the game. I wanted to play the first one but then saw how many DLCs it has. I don't like this way of developing software, in bits and pieces, so I didn't want to support it. This changes nothing about the rest of the discussion though.
