      Oh, I still game, but mostly older games and GotY editions. And Indies.

      AAA titles are dead for me, I want to buy a full game, with no in-game store, no 10ish DLCs available, no always on fuckery etc.

      And if there are 1 or 2 huge expansions (like in Witcher 3) I have no problem with that. I bought expansions in the past, that’s fine.

        I used to be fine with all the shit practices you mentioned since I just wanted to play the games, but then I played Baldurs Gate 3 and remembered how gaming used to be.

        I don’t think I’ll continue to buy DLC-ridden, half-finished and sometimes even outright broken games. Looking at you Diablo 4…

        In that sense the publishers were rightfully afraid of the game. I guess it reminded a lot of us what we lost over the years.

          Turns out that a creative director that unapologetically makes exactly the game that they wanted to make is a winning formula.

      Single player and coop in where it’s at.

      PvP games ain’t fun if the majority of the base doesn’t have work to go to.
