These companies are told by analysts that it's always better to have the players make the content for them.
That's why PVP games are always free-to-play and co-op games "require" each player to buy their own copy (so now you have to do the companies' dirty work for them by convincing your friends to spend money.) It's all fucked, and it's all about following the money.
