And now moving the goalposts. That's to be expected when you've repeatedly been showing your ignorance in how actual businesses conduct themselves, pretending that loyalty and thanking customers is some kind of fiction.

Yeah, you're a terrible consumer. Thank you for proving your ignorance.

Petition EA for Telltale to do a Star Wars game for them and anything's possible.

Apparently reading is on par with your consumer skills. Because he continues with the car analogy here: and you got a response here:

Then if it's nothing like buying or leasing a car, why use it as an analogy? So, your gym doesn't offer long term members with access to personal trainers, free classes, access to the juice bar, and more? Again, all you seem to be showing is that you're not terribly savvy consumers.

What? Four years ago I signed a contract stating that they could never thank me? That they could never introduce something better and more in line with I continue to want out of the game? Silly me.

So the dealerships and leasing agents that offer you free gas, maintenance, and the like for long-term repeat customers don't exist? Are you all just terrible shoppers in that you just automatically accept whatever the first provider gives you?

It's a little better than two years old. With it happening every month, though, it can feel as though it's been around forever.

If you want to play the HK-55 chapter, you need to pay $120 over the course of the time allotted. There is no other way to get the material. Therefore, the story content is gated behind a time-sensitive $120 paywall. You miss it, you're shafted. If it is untrue, please show me another way to get the HK-55 chapter in-game without paying the ~$120 from January 11 through August 1.

Entertainment. Retail. Even the banks and financial services you mention still regularly thank you for your business and in some cases offer you other products or discounts for your continued patronage. Pretending that loyalty rewards and bonuses is somehow an alien thing is well...rather short-sighted.

Yes. And yes.

I have no desire to support a company that gates story content behind a $120 time-sensitive exclusive paywall.

Even Telltale doesn't do that, but they don't have the audacity to charge you $15/month for their chapters. It's either a flat fee of $25-$30 for the "season" or $5 per episode depending on the platform.

Likewise, we owe BioWare nothing. They are not entitled to our $15/month. This is why they're trying to hook us with a consecutive, exclusive incentive plan to gate story content.

"Jediism" is likely considered an official religion somewhere. I'm sure that an overzealous civil and religious rights lawyer would be happy to make a name for themselves defending why purchasing Star Wars products should be a charitable endeavour to practitioners.
