Opinion Do you prefer Games as A Service or Paid DLC?

Some friends and I were talking about this the other day where "Free DLC" now feels like a bad thing because the game will more than likely feel unfinished (Looking at you Anthem). Do gamers really prefer this model of micro transactions to fund new "free" content over the traditional DLC packs? Why do you prefer one over the other?

I prefer just getting a finished game from the start and no DLC. Not sure why these micro transactions are becoming so popular...

What about games like Borderlands were they finish the main story, but add new side story content?

I'm kind of sick of games as a service. Granted, there are examples like No Man's Sky where they can earn good faith back but please industry, stop with the unfinished games and "roooooad maaaaps". No. Just stop.

I don't mind DLC. Cosmetic dlc is okay (paid? then it's questionable) and I'll happily buy DLC if it supports a developer, especially if it brings chunky additional or post-game content to a game I really like.
