I’m not sure we need to have this conversation again.
But since you asked, it’s because instead of being about providing a good product, it’s still just designed to pressure people as much as possible to play as much as possible and spend as much money as possible to get the stuff before it goes away forever. It’s inherently predatory.
I would agree that some might be like that, but I would disagree with others, like Apex. In fact, there are many cases where the stuff that "goes away forever" actually returns in other events.
Has it made me play more because of it? Yep. Is that a bad thing? Nope.
Yes, this is my personal experience. And yes I understand these are made to get people to both play, and spend money. But I would not call them predatory.
Again, we don't have to get into this. I just wanted to give an example instead of a blanket statement for why they are not worse.
