Remedy, you could have sold to Microsoft if you're going to make their mistakes anyway. Control is one of my favorite games ever, but its assets are not all that, especially once you remove the central third-person figure. If I wanted to play a live service game, I'd play Deep Rock Galactic (much better gameplay, deformable terrain, no-FOMO seasons) or Helldivers 2 (shit monetization but it's got mortar turrets that flong shit in a parabolic arc that never gets old). Nota bene: when I see shit like "watch three hours of Twitch to get this skin", I automatically despise your game. I hope you haven't overextended and this turd is really cobbled together quickly from textures and models you had lying around.
Calling HD2's monetization bad is just unhinged.
Yeah, I stand by it, ever noticed how effectivness of weapons and general strategy changes when the new wARbOnD drops? They are fiddling with the knobs to make people pay more and there's way too many opportunities to spend money. And an ingame currency they control how fast you acquire. It's not as bad as some other games, but I don't play those.
