Comment on I remember getting a PS3 just to avoid this back then

Yes, there is. They make the game more expensive, charge a subscription, and then cut all the cost of hosting. That is where the industry is heading.

Ok yes, if they’re charging you a subscription to run your own server, there’s profit in that. I don’t know of any companies that do that, but I would not be in favor of them doing that. Considering that is not a common practice in the industry, I think we can move on.

remember Call of Duty Black Ops: Cold War? The game that didn’t have dedi servers for Zombies until like 2 months after launch, cost $70, and had a battle pass?
