Yes, when something half good finally happens, let's complain it probably didn't happen for better reasons

Why are we never happy again?

Removing choices to the consumer isn't good. It may sound like they're doing a good thing, but if a racing game can include non-intrusive ads and either make the game cheaper or make more content without harming the experience, that's good for the consumer. If a company makes a shitty ad ladden game, you can always just not buy it. They aren't defending you. They're defending their method of making money and ensuring you can't make money without paying them, while removing options for the consumer.

You can be happy about a decision while still understanding the business rational behind it.
