Even so. There was once a magical time when games did not have FOMO at all.
Yes they did, not owning the game was FOMO, and they weren’t free at the time.
I'd much rather buy a full game from the get go and have everything available with no time limit on when i need to buy it.
There is no FOMO if you can leave it for years, actually get the game with all dlc cheaper second hand for a couple of quid and still finding a thriving community online that isn't focused on completing timed challenges for various currencies to get cosmetics you like the look of before they disappear from the store or the deal for the cheaper price runs out.
