I don't give a shit about that half as much as their promotion of microtransactions, not to mention unwillingness to regulate third party launchers, invasive DRM, third party accounts, etc.

Damn straight up shit I hate and didn't think about. Fuck yeah fuck that shit. Third party launchers and accounts should never be allowed. It fucks with the experience.

I feel like enforcing those would actually lead to them being labeled more of a monopoly.

Each of those could be seen as anti competitive moves. Just because you want and like the idea, doesn’t mean they would be seen as universally good by all.

Would you like to explain how it's anti-competitive, or just continue making a bunch of nonsense statements?
