Last panel is basically loot boxes. You pay real money for a couple of bits in your computer to be flipped and never actually receive ownership of anything. In extremely rare cases you may get something that can be sold for real money but it is cosmically rare...
Reminds me of when cards against humanity sold a box of bullshit, that they said was literally bullshit and to not buy it if you wanted anything but bullshit. Then people bought it and were surprised it was bullshit.
I’m okay with DLC sometimes. It’s basically the same concept as expansion packs.
It depends on whether the approach is to release an incomplete game and make them pay extra to complete it or whether they release a finished game and then use DLC for add-ons to continue improving the game.
Basically, the difference between selling a burger with no patty and charging extra for the patty vs selling a full burger and charging extra for fries and a drink.
