BioShock creator says "audiences reward" single-player games that don't have "other methods of monetization," like Baldur's Gate 3, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (www.gamesradar.com)

Sealing / unsealing is 100% FOMO and I have seen people go "Ivara Prime is out now I need to play Warframe". You can easily setup a system where you choose a rotation to go for when choosing a mission. It wouldn't even split the playerbase since it only affects the rewards at the end. But they don't, they do this song and dance about removing and bringing back specific weapons and warframes.

    They already split it in 4 ways with lith neo meso and axi.

    I see your point, but missing out and the fear of it? I'm not sure. But maybe it's because I've played for longer than some of these players have been alive for... There's just so much that the whole "OMG I need this specific thing!!!" Doesn't add up as there's just so much good stuff in there and power creep has been insane prioritising new things or ever green items.

    There are various warframes that work completely different when they are prime. And yeah, you spending so much time with the game makes it that the things that it does bad seem normal to you.

    You're right that you can't personally farm them, but you can still end up getting them from publics. The old relics are still operable. I have hundreds of old relics that I open as fodder, as do other regular players. And ofc trading. The surplus of old relics helps keep down trade prices because they're still trickling into the market, albeit slower.

    A better example is prime accessories. These are real-money only, and can only be bought from Prime Access (when a Prime is released) or a Prime Resurgence (Prime temporarily back for sale a year or so later). Stuff like Octavia Prime's shawzin/sitar being $35 or gone for (effecively) forever.
