Keep in mind Rockstar cancelled single-player DLC content for Grand Theft Auto V. Why? Because online Shark cards (microtransactions currency) made them too much money. That’s a fact. They literally cancelled the paid, story-driven DLC they were already planning on making and selling simply because it wouldn’t have made them the most amount of money. So it was deleted, never finished, and will never be released.
They made 8 and a half BILLION dollars from GTA V!!!
You think a publisher like that is hurting? You think I’ll ever buy anything from them again?? Especially not at $80/90/100…
I’m not arguing with your statement but I’d like to point out that the single-player DLC was not deleted, it was repackaged as an Online update. Which proves your point anyway

GTA online made another 3 billion. Fuck these guys.

I’m pretty sure Genshin has made similar billions and they give it away for free.
Pay to win seems to be the ultimate business model.
