The second game was around for well over two years.
Needing to buy an online subscription is a far better complaint than a misinformed timeline.
Comment on Splatoon 3: After 2 INK-redible years, regular updates will come to a close.

I’ve still never played a splatoon game, mostly because I don’t wanna have to re-purchase it after a couple years

I still have yet to understand what is new in Splatoon 3. I play 2 casually, just for a few pvp matches every so often, and it’s good as is

The second game even repurposed large parts of the not-particularly-impressive campaign of the first game. They weren’t going to fool me again by making me buy the same game a third time.

You can keep playing it tho?

Are you imagining that this game should be like those constantly updating online games that rely on micro transactions or monthly subscription? It was a game to buy full price, but got updates and events for free for 2 years plus DLCs. The servers and game will still be online getting quality of life and security updates. Splatoon 1 servers were online for 9 years… On Wii U no less.

It does rely on a subscription though.

As do nearly all console online games

I don’t think that’s a great excuse.
