@gamingonlinux There's a vocal group that seems to argue for _whatever_ their favourite company is doing.

I heard that Stellaris development is funded by expansion packs, and of course there are online games that have server costs, and a funding source for that at least makes sense. But most of the games I play you just buy the game and then play the game. Then you finish the game and buy another game. I don't want to play the same game for years
