It doesn't stop. It just does.
Not.
Stop.
Between Activision, EA and Bethesda, there seems to be no brakes in the shame train with companies trying to outperform themselves in terms of how much they can f themselves up, industry along.
With Activision so far winning the race. Games too expensive to make? We need to monetize everything to afford publishing and development? We need to cut costs across the board while demanding studios to publish faster and more? No worries. I bet our new CFO will fix everything if we give him 15 MILLION DOLLARS.
Witcher 3 budget was 30 million. Yet Activision, for a major company they are, were not able to publish any real game that would be an original title and not a remake of previous ones. Not to mention the quality and user experience.

Let's not forget Activision is the same company that put Microtransactions in a remake of a beloved game that didn't have them, because those weren't even a thing back then.
Also; Black Ops 4. $60 game. $50 season pass. Has microtransactions, such as a single outfit for one character for $8. Or an emote for $5. Or a tiny red dot sight for $1.
EA and Bethesda are definitely fighting for control in the shittiness department, but it is a losing battle because Activision will always be one step ahead, or one thousand steps.
