Honestly at this point those fanbases are allowing companies to expand on anti-consumer practices to a similar degree as sports games. I wouldn't feel bed if they started being left behind as well

You're not wrong. I would never install a rootki- I mean anti-cheat on my machine regardless. But the point stands.

No one's "allowing" companies, the companies see the profits from MTX and are going full steam ahead in that direction. The users that don't spend on MTX aren't considered because they're not profitable.
