If done correctly it can work, ie: Elder Scrolls Online. The "Base" stuff needs to stay free or tied to the annual release. NOT "Pay to Win" either . . Unfortunately, the Gaming Industry as a whole is not in a great place from the Gamers perspective, Games not finished, Way too many DLC cash grabs, Make great games, people will play & pay, CoD model ruined the industry with rinse-&-repeat of old content and "Loot-Box" is now a four letter word !! Games should be 1. Fun 2. Challenging 3. repeatable 4. Sociable . EA & Activision once were my favorites... then they changed, now they are too corporate, the Board rooms or non-gamers ruining the Fun for some IP or stock-split.
