I take it you were never aware of The Sims and its "stuff" expansions?

DLC existed in some form long before digital-only releases existed. We just used to call them expansions, and people used to buy them in droves.

Edit: All those downvoting me clearly weren't alive during the shareware boom, or during EA's early attempts to extort players for the pleasure of having a potted plant in The Sims. This outrage over DLC is just an echo chamber of angry gamers who aren't the target audience anyway.

I'd argue that every Bond has been good in their own way. What brought some of them down is the poor writing, not what the actor brought to the role.

This isn't a team shooter. It's a multiplayer Pokemon-style open-world RPG.

I'd argue that they still meet the criteria, even the seemingly invincible characters, by making their flaw caring about someone close to them. Villains these days often present a danger not because they're capable of killing the hero, but because the hero has a close personal attachment to someone that isn't invincible.

We enjoyed Quantumania, but that could have been influenced by us watching it in a 4DX cinema. Sure there were issues, but it can't really be criticised for setting up Kang as the next big bad as that was the plan at the time.

I long for the days when people didn't call any concept they disagreed with "political."
