This is only an issue for console gamers. PC gamers realized a long time ago that certain game experiences couldn't be underwritten by a one-time expenditure of $60. That if you wanted a long-term relationship with a game that you had to pay for the overhead (plus profit) of providing that experience. Namely server maintenance, frequent updates, new content, etc.... PC gamers have been much more willing to fund these types of experiences. Which is why they are more widely available in the PC world. The problem in the console gaming world is that----increasingly----console gamers WANT this PC gaming-style experience. But they are UNWILLING to pay the market value for that level of service. Because this notion of the $60 "complete game" is still a stubborn (though obsolete as a Blockbuster Video store) trope fixed in the minds of console gamers. Which is why you have a situation like what is going on with the Destiny franchise right now. Where you have a community that wants a game maintained like an MMO. Fed new content like an MMO. Expect to play for hundreds and thousands of hours without running out of things to do..... ....but thinks its some sort of outrage that they can't "have" all this for $60.
