Most interesting part of the article:

"Our focus is on transforming our biggest franchises from largely console and PC-based with 3-4 year release schedules to include more always-on gameplay through live services, multiplatform, and free-to-play extensions, with the goal of having more players spending more time on more platforms. U

Ultimately, we want to drive engagement and monetization over longer cycles and at higher levels where per specific capabilities we're currently under scale, and see significant opportunity to generate greater post-purchase revenue"

What a major turn-off ngl.

I’m so disappointed with the monitization in mk1. The game is great I did buy at launch because i was hyped for story mode, and 11 had so much single player content. 1 not so much. I do not mind season passes if they are going to support the game, however a season pass plus paid fatalities and cosmetics is ridiculous and the current state of the game is so lacking.

Probably my only gaming regret of the year so far was thinking this game would live up to the last 3.
