They ignore it the same reason they ignore the fact that we want single player games first: microtx

The thing that is killing all these live service games is they don't start with single player and expand the endgame with a live service.

That's the only reason that Destiny was a decade long live service. They had trouble at Destiny2's launch because they tried to skip the first person quality game play and the community revolted.

This is why Halo Infinite failed, they were all in with open-world microtx nothings and it ended poorly. A boring sandbox only game is still boring ala Starfield.

What is microtx? I see some Oracle product called that but I don't get what it has to do with games.

I think that's meant as an abbreviation for "microtransactions".
