Monetization
Players who bring up Monetization mostly praise it.
What compounds the lack of game compared to the previous offerings is the fact that Kite does not replicate the humour of the previous games, meaning there is little reason to even play, and I'm looking to get the older versions again, because they play better, are funnier and you get an entire game for one price, instead of getting half a game with lots of stuff behind quite expensive DLC that doesn't even add much to the game anyway.
