Same, not tried it yet

It's been taken down on xitter now

You can resize windows on desktop you know

You think the poor plebs have any power over the matter? This your first almost incitement of revolution that goes nowhere?

I'd much rather buy a full game from the get go and have everything available with no time limit on when i need to buy it.

There is no FOMO if you can leave it for years, actually get the game with all dlc cheaper second hand for a couple of quid and still finding a thriving community online that isn't focused on completing timed challenges for various currencies to get cosmetics you like the look of before they disappear from the store or the deal for the cheaper price runs out.

Yep, map packs are dlc. And it wasn't alone. Every multiplayer game worked like that at the time. Exclusive or not.

I'm not playing it at the moment but the most recent one i was actively subscribed to was ffxi. I find that now when I want to pay an MMO I stray away from the wow likes (if i want that style it's xiv for me though). I like the older ones that use more archaic combat systems because they're often very unique on a genre where everything now feels very similar.

Also here's an obligatory "I miss Wildstar"

Halo 3 and other games of it's time did well enough, and the multiplayer for them lasted way longer than most live service games.

Actual DLC was better than FOMO cosmetics in my opinion.

Even so. There was once a magical time when games did not have FOMO at all.

What makes you compare intergalactic with concord? Ones a paid for hero shooter doing nothing new in a sea of free to play games of the same genre. And the other is a single player narrative focused game from a studio that has a proven track record of being able to make great games in that field.

It generates FOMO though. I remember when you didn't have to pay for stuff in games, so I personally still find it very shitty to have to buy skins etc.
