The same is true of video games, as cartoons have been made of Street Fighter II and Mortal Kombat.ĭespite being a franchise that is based on punching people in the face, Double Dragon would receive its own cartoon series. There have been cartoons made of films like Rambo, Robocopand The Toxic Avenger, all of which were rated R. If it is possible for a franchise to be advertised towards children in order to make a profit, then someone will attempt it, no matter how violent the original concept is. The 'Item Shops' were so unpopular with players that they were removed from the Japanese version of the game. This isn't counting the money you needed to play the game in the first place. In the original arcade version of Double Dragon III, you could buy new moves, weapons and life bar extensions with real money. One of the first perpetrators of scamming money from the players happened in the arcade version of Double Dragon III: The Rosetta Stone. This kind of greedy behaviour has been going on for a long time. One of the worst examples of DLC is a game that heavily restricts its reward system in order to entice impatient players into paying real money to get them quicker (hello Overwatch).

You have developers selling completely useless items, like the Horse Armor in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. There are games that are obviously missing chunks of their story, so that they can be sold to the player at a later date (like Final Fantasy XV). People love to complain about how downloadable content has ruined modern gaming. This comes in a few different flavours.
