im def a hardcore gamer in a sense i really enjoy games and have been for a very long time. that being said if a company delivers something extremely nice, like a fully fledged game with no dlc but decided to bump the price a bit most hard core gamers may complain but be like "damn that was tiny bit pricey but it was worth it!" we will GLADLY pay you money for an extremely polished game. the OP has a point when he says if u support the dlc and cutting content, they companies will keep doing so. for me, i dont want companies to sell emotes etc. i want then to sell is a freakin good ass game with everything attached. A good example is when a person buys. 100+ CE gane and feels good about it. for destiny, i see more people regretting having spent money on it
