Trust me, as soon as gaming companies figure out how to monetize it they will do it. It's never about "bringing communities together". It's about how much money is it going to make?
Complain all you want, but as long as people keep paying for these kind of "services" gaming companies are going to keep doing this. I don't blame them, there is one born every minute. I'll just sit in my corner playing 6 month all games at a discount.
I bough the PC version after the previews update and still had technical issues. During one of the chases I had no sounds fx except for the Soundtrack, also some random animation bugs. Good thing, or bad, it happened during the first 2 hours of gameplay I was able to get a refund. At this point I don't see how this game can be fixed. I guess you'll just have to learn to live with the bugs if you like this game.
