More and more series are falling foul to this bs. It’s really disheartening, but at the same time may be the dawn of a new turn towards smaller gaming companies that don’t only think about milking us.

How do you mean? On the one hand, free to play games don't really have much of a choice because they are free to play and need to make money somehow, although tiered packages can go right the hell away, but otherwise I'm not sure where you could be coming from. But yeah, you're right, they are one of many to do that since 2K and Bungie have done as well this year. 

Oh and by the way, for anyone who trusted Capcom, they fucking lied again: http://gematsu.com/2017/10/street-fighter-v-arcade-edition-announced-ps4-pc

Now on the one hand, if you already own SFV, this new content is free. On the other hand, if you don't, it costs 40 dollars to buy this version of the game, same as other editions for previous versions of games in the series. Then there's of course the whole thing of them saying that they would never make another edition of Street Fighter V, so they lied, again. To make matters worse, Yoshinori Ono made this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Llhz9NQfORc where he basically pats himself and Capcom on the back for fixing issues with the game that never should have been there in the first place and for releasing free DLC that should have been part of the base game, so it's all kinds of messed up.

Mhhm, I was talking more about studios that make what I’d call “full games” that you’d pay 40$ for, for the whole game.
Like CD Project Red, that gives you a full game, and then has expansions.
So a full game, then little cherries on top, not incomplete games that you can fill the gaps of by paying more.

Nintendo wants more adult games on Nintendo Switch

I guess this means Nintendo will be getting more shooters and other mature rated games for the switch from the looks of things here.
