That's every billion dollar publisher that releases games with initial purchase + microtransactions beyond cosmetics. So Activision/Blizzard, EA, Take Two, and Ubisoft. Like it's one thing to do free-to-play + pay-to-win but it's quite another to charge $60 and then make the game worse solely to drive people to buy things that will make it suck less. And they all do it.
humans are a truly horrible species and this kind of thing is a great example of why I believe that.
