Yeah, three steps forward one step back with the screwed up, greedy ass gaming industry.

Good that it's reversed, but the mood is already set. They practically said that they consider everyone who's been supporting them for the past 7 years a cash cow, and expect them to pay up more, regardless of how much they already paid

Yeah, just another publisher/dev that's trying to see how far they can push gamers and then take that little step back and go "See this isn't so bad in comparison!".

Just slowly boiling the gamers in the cauldron.

Pretty much. Sadly that's just how things work today. You either do things right, at a cost, or you become the villain

I'm hopeful. I want to believe what happened to Suicide Squad is an indication that consumers/gamers are less willing to put up with this shit than a few (a couple?) years ago.

Who knows. We've had games flop the exact same way many times before, and they've learned nothing from it
