Good that it's reversed, but the mood is already set. They practically said that they consider everyone who's been supporting them for the past 7 years a cash cow, and expect them to pay up more, regardless of how much they already paid
- Yeah, just another publisher/dev that's trying to see how far they can push gamers and then take that little step back and go "See this isn't so bad in comparison!".
  Just slowly boiling the gamers in the cauldron.
  
  Pretty much. Sadly that's just how things work today. You either do things right, at a cost, or you become the villain
I understand that the article is published in a gaming magazine, and that this is a gaming community, but damn... could they not explain what PvE is, or at least spell it out?
For those like me, PvE means "Player versus Environment" (when in a multi-player game there are challenges that are controlled by the computer and not other players.)
Edit: Downvoted by non-welcoming people.
- Is that not what it means in this case?
  
  What do you mean? That's exactly what I said. PvE means Player vs Environment. Unless I misunderstood your question.
- You're being downvoted because you're literally complaining about a extremely common gaming term, that you've defined yourself btw, being used in a gaming website posted in a gaming community. It makes you seem like you're complaining just to complain, which is trollish behavior.
  This isn't a powerpoint presentation going out to a group of people unfamiliar with the topic at hand so it's not reasonable to have them spell out the first instance of the acronym, annoying their target audience.
  Next time, assuming you're being actually sincere and not a troll, just ask "Hey what does acronym "ABC" stand for" instead of just going and complain right off the bat. You know the old adage about honey, vinegar and flies.
  
  Are you the author of the article? Jesus, for a community about games, you know, stuff that does not matter in real life, you people take things waaaaay too seriously.
- I down voted you for complaining about being down voted.
  
  Yah, I don't care.
