Remember that they have 3 years of content planned also and they're on year 2. This system allows them to fund new operators and maps without having to charge everyone for whole extra expansions, which would be bigger BS than before.

lmao yea right

according to Professor Google, ubisoft made 300 million dollars worth of game sales ALONE in THE FIRST HALF of the 2015-2016 fiscal year. are you telling me that they cannot afford to bankroll the few devs it takes to create 2 or 3 new characters every 6 months to a year in their multiplayer-only game?

come on dude, this is just a major corporation jerking you around and people biting because lots of gamers have a kind of emotional connection to video games that you don't see with most other products. the only reason the maps are free is because last gen devs tried to make people pay for multiplayer maps and it ended up killing off most non-CoD games, since it split the community up. they are not doing you any favors.

the term companies use for this is "player engagement" and the basic idea is that games now shift from being a product you own to being a service that the company provides. if you don't have hundreds of hours to dump into video games, let alone ONE game in particular, you might as well either pay up or not play at all
