Videogames in the 80s and 90s: "Beat the game in hard mode under 5 hours without saving to unlock a new, amazing weapon and some skins for your character!"
Videogames now: "Pay 5,99€ to unlock a new skin for your weapon and a hat for your character!"
@enigmatico depends on the game, but this kind of stuff are fine on online free games. It's better than monthly subscription or pay to win content. For offline games tho, it's shit
