People hate them so much that it became the most lucrative way of monetizing games ever.

They were but not as a 3d model. Someone has to actually make that 3d model and it looks like that person was the guy from the article.

Here are some more:

• Falcon 4.0
• Rainbow Six
• Unreal
• Battlezone
• Gran Turismo

That´s actually insane for one year!

Back then, studios had to actually make new games to make more money. Nowadays, you make one game and then just milk it for a decade.
