This just can’t be anything but nonsense when EA can release the same game literally decades in a row and have people eat it up anyway.

Because it's a good game and the new editions are literally seasons of the same game. World of Warcraft has adopted a model for the last few expansions and players love it. It's literally HN's darling pricing model where it's a subscription but you can stop and keep all the versions you have.

HN just doesn't skew really getting sports people.
