Paying once for a game was so nice. You pay and then you can finish the game at a your own pace. There are still games like this but more often now even if you pay someone is always trying to get another 2.99 or 9.99 from you. Before you could get a cool skin because you did something now you pay.
I take some satisfaction in always being the most boring character in a multiplayer lobby. In halo 3 I worked so hard for the samurai or ninja armour but now it feels like it isn’t part of the game at all.
Getting updates has been extremely nice as well though. There’s plenty of old games that had design issues or you wished something was a bit more fleshed out. Back then, you didn’t really expect much in the way of updates though. PC got some patches but it was mostly bugs. Console was totally stuck with what you got.
While I’m not a DLC person, I can’t deny it can be fun watching a game you play continue to evolve.
