Lol it doesn't need to work for everyone. However considering the billions of dollars of in game micro-tranactions and how makes the top 5 (if not 10) most purchased games EVERY. SINGLE. YEAR.

Its safe to safe none of publishers are concerned about a few old fans not buying the latest and greatest.
