      But it’s not strange or unusual. It’s part of a broader pattern. It’s novel, sure.

      My point isn’t that the change is good or even neutral. It’s bad. I’m just expecting this stuff at this point.

        Have you ever seen another game that charges for NG+? If not, it’s unusual.

        I expect MTX in paid games, expensive new releases, and poor value DLC because games consistently do that lately. I don’t expect paid NG+ because games don’t to that.

        Just because it can be easily explained by a trend doesn’t mean I should’ve expected it when nobody else does it.

          You’re arguing with me as if I approve of or justify this stuff. I don’t. I think it sucks. But if you’re surprised tbh I don’t think you’re being realistic. We’re at the point where all functionality is “fair game” to be parceled out for extra bucks.

            I’m not surprised, I just think it’s bizarre, especially for the Yakuza series, which typically doesn’t add much actual content to NG+.
