What? No where did I suggest that content was ready to go - I'm simply stating that a finished game now has less quality content for the same price than it used to.
Again do you have proof for that? Because I'm pretty sure game have more content nowdays than they had 20 years ago,
I really can't agree with that. A small minority of games are like this yes, Battlefront 2 being the shining example of bad monetary practices. But something like RDR2 or just about any RPG is packed with content.
How so? BF2 has a ton of content for $60 and you don't have to pay for it.
