DLC Gold Edition

Sorry to offend anyone here but the "gold" and "legendary" editions of games are marketed towards idiots. Are you an idiot? No? Okay then...

Why do I say this? Because everything you mentioned as a "perk" for the gold edition will be outclassed immediately. Those extra drops? You'll likely be overflowing with extra gear at that point and it means nothing, if you haven't traded in by then anyways.

Only idiots buy those editions, and that's the actual truth. 

Secondly, a new AAA game has never been 40$, ever. Maybe a low tier arcade tittle was 39.99$

I sympathize with you, but you are complaining over irrelevant features and options. I bet if you went to buy a new car you'd get sold on the under coating, am I right?

Secondly, video games have been headed in this direction for a longggg time.

Why you ask? Well yeah, it's cause money. Video gaming used to be very fringe, and expensive for that matter.

Mario Bros 3 was a 70$ game and my neighbor could literally beat that game in 30 minutes. Of course he didn't play every level, he used a trick to get the flute on world 1 then skip to the end. My point is, you could beat a 70$ game in 30 minutes with nothing to show, when you turned the power off, all progress was lost.

Now, late 90s early 2000s big developers started taking interest in games, and companies already invited in games, companies like EA upped the anti.

So the trade off is, titles we love are almost undoubtedly eternal with mega Corp backing, the draw back is the nickel and dime us. Day 1 dlc, gold / legendary editions, disc locked content sold as future dlcs.

The point of this story is the gaming industry got sold out long ago. It became less and less about art and creativity to what new idea can be sold as a cash cow.

Like I said though, that's the trade off. When you get games backed by these companies there's a very high chance they will be a round for a long time to enjoy, however they still have to make money.

Now, I am not a frivolous person. I can definitely buy a new release every week, and could care less. I make informed purchase decisions on my tastes because I don't feel a need to waste money. That would be my advice to you, you came in here saying these companies cater to the rich when the difference between 70$ and 100$ is negligible , you say it's pay to win, when in reality those advantages aren't advantages at all. 

You are also talking about a video game, but act like we're talking about food or resources. 

My advice reevaluate your priorities, though I do agree with some points, while you argue many ate missing your point, I think you have missed the point..
