I just wanted to hear some people's thoughts on this. It's definitely made me buy less games and spend less money overall, it also bums me out sometimes because I only have time to participate in one "big event" (for example around Halloween I didn't have time to enjoy all the Halloween content in all my games). Anyway these kind of games can particularly incentivize either grinding or spending real money, so I want to hear what you think about them. Have your habits changed? Are you happy with them, or would you rather go back to the older model of Big Release + all content basically unlocked + DLC followed by sequel a few years down the line? Are you sticking with indie titles? Or something else?

Sierra charged, and I know this because my older friend worked for them (I heard about this after the fact). Just FYI they charged a decent amount because he spent 50+% of his time sitting on his rear end waiting for calls. Essentially the people who called in were subsidizing the employees (there were 2 and a couple of temps whenever a new game came out) goofing off while waiting for calls; it was not a money-maker for the company.
