"I lump the GAAS, loot boxes and micotransactions into the same pile because they all exist together in one form or another."

I would disagree slightly there. GaaS model does not require loot boxes or MT's to work and a few good examples off the top of my head would be Total War: Warhammer 2 and Total War: Rome 2. TW:R2 was at launch considered to be one of the worst TW games of all time but because of mod support, updates and we'll timed free and paid content releases it has a strong community and is now a highly recommended game.

TW:W2 is the opposite at launch and is maybe the best TW game of all time and treats it's previous instalment as an expansion in a way (basically if you own the previous game it merges the maps to a degree). Like Rome 2 it's recieved great mod support, lots of updates along with free and paid content.

GaaS by itself isn't bad and in some ways I dislike lumping it altogether with MT's and
Loot boxes. I agree that many of the games that make use of the service have something questionable mixed into the model but the obvious answer there is stop supporting those games. You can in some ways see RE2 and DMC5 making use of the model too.

"You are correct in that GAAS isn't bad in and of itself but again I don't see games like GOW, Spider-Man, HZD, Red Dead 2, Uncharted, Sekiro, TLOU, Zelda and any of the other high quality SP games existing if it's just GAAS. No I see games like Fallout 76, Anthem, State of Decay, Sea of Theives, Fortnite etc."

Your list is actually very interesting because some of those SP games can actually be seen as using the GaaS model or at the very least portions of it in the eyes of some. To my knowledge Spider-Man, TLoU, Uncharted 3+4 and Zelda all had a season pass which can very easily be considered as something that comes under GaaS in that it creates an additional revenue stream beyond the inital purchase.

A lot of the DLC for games like Uncharted 3 and The Last of Us can very easily be categorized as Micro-transactions. Cosmetics definitely come under the MT umbrella so why are these games exempt from the criticism but not others? And are these games exempt from the term but not the others you listed? Also why would you rather not see games like Dota 2, Splatoon 2, Halo 3, Diablo 3, Apex Legends etc.? Point being there are many top tier games that are using the GaaS model and many top tier SP games doing the exact same.

This logic can be applied to the recent upheaval about an easy mode in Sekiro. Guy A, spends X amount of time grinding it out until he/she finally overcomes the difficulty and "gits gud". Guy, spends 1/3 of the time beating the game without breaking a sweat because of an easy mode( analogy: paid progression in online games). Both brag about beating the game. You get the rest...

If they didn't add them people wouldn't buy them and get addicted to them. There is always two sides on a coin.
