I feel worse about games becoming "games as service". I get cautious about playing certain games - Shadow of War, and Ubisoft games in general comes to mind. I didn't play it because I was worried the devs would purposely drive up the grind to encourage buying booster packs.

Those are my thoughts. Namaste, friends.

If Pokemon was made by any other company in the world that wasn't Nintendo, it would be monetized to hell and back.

Imagine: "Ubisoft presents: Pokemon".
