    I use the same metric for videogames. The instant they’re buying up other companies’ IP to sell skins, they’re cooked.

      In game purchases are already a pretty bad sign it’s a commodified product dopamine machine and not an artistic experience. I don’t think I’d have the same regard for classics like Grim Fandango or Mario 64 if they built a store into the game.
