They should be praised for keeping their game MT free, whilst others should be condemned for pushing MT's in games that do not need them and are just added for the sake of making money.

We need to get back to the times of paid DLC/expansions.

A game will make profit on it's own merit and quality, otherwise all we will have is copy and paste games with MT's tacked on to make the profit.

"but there's a problem when the absence of monetization is news." Unfortunately, if things like this aren't news then developers/publishers will never change.

Wasnt there just news about a Battle Pass for Doom? So in essence we shouldn't be praising it for being MT free because in actuality it isn't?

Okay. I'll just praise it for looking amazing and fun.

I kind of consider a battle pass in a game you pay for almost as bad as MT's. It won't have anything to do with the single player campaign, (hopefully), but I'm really not a fan of that practice.

I know they will be developers tend to add MT after the game is out to prevent backlash

It is news when the last fps game they worked on, Rage 2, had the fucking BFG as part of the Digital Deluxe edition and later a pay-for addon to the game. What kinda bullshit is that?

So year! After experiencing that, they need to make some noise because my first thought when Doom Eternal was announced that they would probably take the same route they did with Rage 2.
