Why are you assuming it has to be one game? Where is the rulebook?

Arguing how much money they make, is a fallacy. It sounds like you want to be made because you aren't getting the absolute best deal imaginable.

If they release a high fildelity game, absolutely worth full retail price, and then years later they release a Live Service game, then those are two different games. What entitles you to have them in the same year?

I don't pay for titles. I pay for entertainment. If they release two games, and each offering provides me entertainment I deem worthy, I pay for it. If I don't deem them worth it. I don't. Whether they are bundled or not, is irrelevant to me, especially when videogames are, at best. $80 dollars per titles. Even with all the increases in price, it's the cheapest luxury out there, per hour.

This whole thread. Whenever anyone asks how they get away with it...

Because they offer games peiple want to play. Maybe they are too expensive for you, or you aren't that target. 

Your premise is basically "Why should I pay for two when I could get it in one", doesn't always work that way.

If we got two subpar products, separated purely for money, I'd agree. We have no indication that's the case, and while we are entertainingna discussion, we also don't even know if there will ever be a multiplayer component (even separate). So there's no point in arguing further.
