I want to shed light on a tactic that involves collecting data as you play, feeding this data into complex algorithms and models that then alter the rules of your game under the hood to optimize spending opportunities.

    The DLC is content in the video game.

    That’s why you can see it, even if you haven’t paid for it.

    Welcome to the conversation.

    For the love of god, do not make me rub your nose in this a seventh time.

      Yes, I know how DLC works. And I disagree with your blanket opposition to all DLC ever.

        Horse armor was above-board, relative to this.

          I’m done playing your weird word games. We’ve been talking about a concrete example, one where you say this example is pReDaToRy simply because it involves DLC, and I take issue with you drawing that line. You can’t pretend you’re actually saying something else at the same time.

            I have repeatedly, specifically, and explicitly pointed out this is a lie.

            You don’t care.

            You don’t get to sneer about a word choice I’ve told you over and over that I did not use, in the context you’re sneering about.
