Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth is making the utterly bizarre decision to lock New Game+ behind a $15 upgrade (www.pcgamer.com)

I don't even do NG+ in these huge games, but now I'm going to skip this one on principle, even though I do like the series. Nope, not going to allow a company to treat me this way.

There will of course be a lot of people who bend over and take it (or even defend it), but I'd rather replay an older title than encourage this shit.

Same. I liked Like a Dragon. I don't do NG+ almost ever.

But fuck them hard for this horseshit.

Hope you didn't buy the other ones that did this, it's not the first one.

Don't encourage it by simply not buying the dlc. It's easy. You obviously don't notice it.

Exactly. NG+ doesn't add any content, it just gives you an alternate way to explore the content you missed.

I'd pay for an expansion, online access, and maybe additional characters (i.e. different play style in existing content), but not NG+.

It depends on the game. Japanese devs are notorious for adding new content in NG+ runs. A good example is Armored Core 6 where you can still get new content up to NG++ and the one that takes this to an extreme is Nier Automata where the meat of the game is the NG+ runs.

Thats not really NG+ then, thats just the base game.
