[Splines]

Don't get me wrong, I do love DLC that adds to the game world and extends the life of the game. I've bought DLC like this in the past, except they were called "expansion packs".

Having never played LoL I can't really say one way or another if I agree with their approach. As long as it's possible to play the game without restriction, I'm usually ok with it. What bothers me is the "You've run out of energy, pay $X to continue playing" business model.

Cosmetics, even cheats are fine by me.

It's troubling that what I find abhorrent in game design is succeeding in the marketplace. All the best to the guys doing well, I certainly don't begrudge their success [1], except that I will personally take no part in it.

[1] ok, maybe a teeny bit, but what I say isn't going to affect their bottom line
