So what if new movies need an anal probe? There's lots of old movies.

This is a scam.

This is an abuse, for money. For a lot of money. It's so profitable that "just don't buy it!" was never going to work. This is the dominant strategy - it is infecting everything. Nothing inside a video game should ever cost real money, but every game that matters is liable to demand thousands of your actual dollars. 'Just play Tetris lawl' is an aggressive denial of a global problem.
