But those are all microtransactions...
Not necessarily, since DLC can often be pretty pricey which means it's not really a "micro"-transaction, though I guess there is no real limit on the dollar amount that constitutes a microtransaction, but I still associate the term with gacha mechanics and not premium DLC such as extra solo campagains/levels and the like. Lootboxes can be microtransactions, but are also sometimes earned in game or purchased with currency earned in a game.

the service based economy in general.

The service based economy is what allows all this shit like day 1 DLC, incomplete at best releases, bugged to fuck games, online issues, monthly subscriptions (why give them the game when you can get "cheap" recurring payments of 5.99), microtransactions, etc.

Gaming has been dogshit since 2007.

Correct answer is microtransactions, but that's not what I thought of.

Microtransactions

other good answers, most of which probably tie into MTX: Games as a service, crunch, Clash of Clans, FOMO, employee abuse (things like sexual harassment or forcing them to watch gore in order to painstakingly accurately animate it), lack of preservation, "Buy it again!", lack of compression, and oh god I could go on and on and on

yet all azuarc of all sorts are more or less capricious and unreliable - they live in the varying outer weather, and they inhale its fickleness
