It’s bizarre in that I’ve never heard of it before. I’ve heard of paying for online access, expansions, and new characters, but not for NG+, which is usually just replaying the same campaign with higher stats and maybe more difficulty.
Sure it’s new. But I’ve come to expect that the games industry will generally be very innovative when it comes to finding ways to squeeze more money out of people for the same, or less, content. It sucks but calling it bizarre implies we don’t know why they would do it.
Bizarre in what sense? People will pay for it and it likely won’t stop anyone from buying the base game. NG+ is for niche players.
It’s scummy and slimy, but who doesn’t expect scummy and slimy at this point?
