a general setting thats available to everyone, and a paid version of that same setting but customized to your individual ears seems pretty reasonable to me actually
Bethesda brought HD texture packs for Skyrim and Fallout, yes. But they are free DLCs and came out several years after release. Bethesda did a paid modding shop.
But this is a feature that other games just have, that's paid, on a preorder full price AAA game that's already more expensive than other games.
Stop trying to compare, this is a whole new precedent of greed and mtx.
This game costs 80€. No other game in the market costs as high as that for a base edition. You're claiming that a 80€ game offering a 20€ subscription to a feature every other game that offers it has it for free, is a reasonable thing.
