I found footage from that meeting:

I've been trying but I can't think of an example of where you have paid $60+ (or even just $1) for something and then additional monetization is added to it after the purchase for the pure benefit of the producer with no benefit to you the owner of the thing you paid for?
Can't think of a single instance.
Adding blipverts is not additional game related content, just like adding lootbox mechanics after a game has been out for months wouldn't, lootbox mechanics just add another barrier to gameplay - it's actually degrades the gameplay expiriance... as does adding blipverts. It's not removing bugs, It's not patching for balance, it's simply adding another revenue stream to the producer once a user base has been established.
Now above, I am aware I used the word "owner" and I am
very aware digital mediums sell you a license to access the the thing you bought and do not technically sell it to you like you would own a bannana or a car etc... so thinking about it... when something changes in regards to a contract, in this case a licensed property, wouldn't you need to re-sign? You need to sign back up to whatever has changed in the license... and if the license already contains said thing which is added later as a clause or sub-clause, the license provider
has to make you aware
ahead of time that they are activating that part of the license going forward and you'd need to sign back up to it again...?
And if you didn't sign back up due to
their modification of the licensing agreement, not yours... Would you be due a refund of some or all of what you had paid upfront? I mean one month, it's not a lot of game time if you have IRL commitments...?
