Exactly, just another corporate cash grab. From here it will go to “you buy base game only”, but if you want this city or that quest or planet then it’s paid. You want that npc? Money. The final boss? Credit card pls. Fast travel? That’s platinum club only.

And all in the name of “why should you pay for quests you don’t like” or some other thinly veiled greed.

But they gotta keep that profit line climbing infinitely you know, somehow.
