Pure laziness. Will not buy.

That’s a terrible idea. You’d pay more than an entire paycheck just to play a typical JRPG which typically have 40+ hours of gameplay. I’m not paying $600 to play one game.

This is developers incrementally conditioning you to accept an even worse state of things for games. And if they follow through, I’ll pirate their shit and never give them a dime of my money again.

I end up as the final boss of some Pikmin game and get pimp-slapped by 1 inch tall astronauts.

A Pikmin infestation, if they were real, would unironically be worse than bedbugs or cockroaches and I will fucking die on that hill.
