Wait, what do you mean about the pity system? It's identical for between Genshin, Star Rail, and Zenless.

I think it's, what, like 90 for 5 star, 10 for 4 star. Standard and Limited banner tracks their own counter. Pulling on one doesn't reset the other.

Armies in 5 and 6 are kind of underwhelming. Maybe a compromise of having terrain have unit capacities, with various units taking up more space.

They were also much simpler and smaller back then with often extremely limited specification variations. And DRM existed back then too, with some fairly egregious and infamous physical DRM checks.

One of the DLC is just a better version of the camp item that you can't find in-game.

Oblivion's Horse Armor was probably the start of DLC though, maybe. At least with consoles?

The availability of the item in-game doesn't matter. If anything it's availability in-game being "not that big of a deal" just showcases further the scumminess of it all being that purchasable item exists only to scam people by tricking them into thinking any modicum of money is worth a one use item.

And even then, if nobody complains about it, then they'll still continue on as they will. They'll do so regardless, of course, but at least you can say that there was pushback of some kind.

There's a mod right now that adds the item you need to change appearances to a vendor for like 10 gold, so I'm not really sure what cheats it's preventing exactly.

The problem is that those two things look exactly the same without the added context that you can't fit into an easy title and people won't read the details anyways.

In what capacity is it anymore disrespect than doing literally anything else?

With the exploration thing, I get "W"-anderer vibes or something along those lines.

In comparison though, it was basically one and done. Assassin's Creed is a fairly long running franchise, God of War and Mario too technically, paired with bits of nostalgia. Palworld can always improve and still get attention past the first month.

That's not even strange, the spoon is just the perfect utensil.
