MODERATORS
Maybe it's just me, but I think it was a mistake to describe it as GaaS. I understand how they're trying to use the term, but the fact they felt the need to clarify how they meant it should have been a clear enough sign the term is rather tainted.
Worse, it may make some people skeptical & suspect that they intend to change their tune down the line. Their track record notwithstanding, that's how some may be after having been burnt before with other experiences.
Yeah, that was my immediate response seeing that term here.
Regular content updates aren't GaaS any more than horse armor was an "expansion pack" for Oblivion.
Wait, what? The updates are paid, but not a subscription? I'm even more confused. Is that not just DLC?
Fucking hell
To be fair it looks like the publisher originally used the term and reading between the lines in this post, the devs seem like they are annoyed by it.
