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.

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.
