I believe the author expressed specifically that they did still enjoy the game, but specifically didn't enjoy the fact that their purchase was effectively devalued, and instead you're now nickel and dimed. I don't think you have to believe that you'll enjoy a game forever to be displeased with that, especially if they still enjoy the game part of the game. In fact I'd argue that you can probably experience that right from the start. I used to like Gran Turismo. Idk anything about the new one, but if I tried it, and found out after if after spending $80 on the game, I still had to pay for each individual colour of car or something inane, I sure as hell wouldn't buy it. Same reason I never got into railroad simulator or whatever
