Hmmm...
Is that really so?
Sounds like pizzas where you can put things on it for additional price. Or when you buy house or car and pay extra for each little thing.
I agree that in modern games its way more intusive then it needs to be.
No it's not comparable to that. Adding things to the pizza/car is a decision you make prior to using/consuming the good. I have no problem with games doing the equivalent. E.g. you purchase any DLC or costumes or cosmetics or whatever BEFORE starting the game. The evil part is making monetization part of the game. I would also find it evil for a car to suggest "Buy the vacation increased range package for 49.99$ and have 50 extra kilometers of range for the next 2 weeks", while you car battery is at 10%.
Yeah, you are right. Intrusion level is different and way more peedatory.
